 Before going to Lake Louise, we decided to make a trip to Moraine Lake since it was so close. The colour of the lake is an amazing blue-green colour. I was amazed at how many people were there. We were told to make sure we got there before 10:00 in the morning so that we […]
Some views from our trip into the Rocky Mountains.
When you climb the Grassi Lakes Trail, you get a great view of Canmore, Alberta and the mountains. It’s an interesting climb and well worth the effort. Â I didn’t find it the easiest climb, but I was glad I did it. There is an easier trail you can go on, but the views on the […]
My daughter and I visited Canmore recently. One of the walks we went on was called Policeman’s Creek Boardwalk. This was an enjoyable walk and a good introduction to the mountains and Canmore. Beautiful views. This is definitely an area that shows the beauty of God’s creation.
I like to have blurry backgrounds in some of my photos. My neighbour had not cut his grass yet, so I was able to practise with some of the wildflowers growing in his backyard. Â God has put beauty in wildflowers (or weeds) for us to enjoy.

We visited the George Langman Sanctuary again when we were in Orillia. Â You can see my previous blog here: Swans Right now they have some baby mute swans. It was interesting to watch them with their parents. The young swans are called cygnets. They come in two colours: gray and white. The gray chicks are […]
We have a visitor on our lake that we haven’t seen before. This is a redhead duck and is probably a bit lost on its migration trip. Â They usually winter in large flocks along the Gulf Coast and some around the Great Lakes. They migrate to the Great Plains and West for the summer.
We are being bombarded with many birds at our feeder right now. There is a flock of purple finches, and another bigger flock of pine siskins – which all fight for the sunflower seeds. It’s very entertaining and is especially amusing when you see the smaller pine siskin keep the larger finches away from the […]
