Outdoor Winter Fun
Posted on February 5, 2023 4 Comments
This year, I love winter. Might as well. I’m here anyway. I’ve been skating and snowshoeing and walking outside. One evening at 6:45, we took an LED headlamp with us. With a low cloud cover and no moon glow to light the way, early evening looked more like midnight. The intense light from the tiny […]
Frost: A Boxing Day Photo Blog

I posted this for the first time in December of 2019. Pearson School is long gone now and it’s interesting to look back at what has changed and what remains the same. This older post makes me want to don my snowshoes and go exploring! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas day. ❄☃️❄ The […]
Feels Like Fall, Thoughts on Peace
Posted on September 8, 2022 1 Comment
I walked this morning and I was cold for the first time in a very long time. Fortunately, I’d brought my camera to capture some images that reflected fall’s arrival. It’s soft this year, not sudden, but it’s definitely there in the back porch unlacing its boots and planning to stay awhile. With the aftermath […]
A Beer Can Story, Calf and Ditch Weed Photos

I went for a walk this morning in the countryside. Getting outside is a good way for me to get out of my head and into the fresh air. I decided at the last minute to take my camera down from its hook beside the backdoor and take some photos along the way. At 15 […]
Plain Little Church in the Valley
Posted on August 19, 2022 Leave a Comment
Now here’s a gem I discovered a couple years ago where two secondary highways intersect surrounded by fields of grain and oilseed crops and under a cobalt-blue sky as its been since 1911. This is the Holy Trinity Church at Golden Valley. Our little church here in Hughenden, dedicated just three years later, is also […]
A June Morning Walk

Hello! I took a walk this morning and here are some photos and videos of what I saw and heard. Following the last couple of days of rainfall, the countryside looks lush and green. The plants in my garden are growing enthusiastically and so are the weeds! Enjoy the evening ahead. – Lori
Tuesday Morning Hike – Mostly a Photo Blog
Posted on May 28, 2022 Leave a Comment
I had to visit the health centre in Hardisty anyway and near there, the Hardisty hiking trails begin, so that was a good excuse to bring along my water and hat and take a walk in the glorious spring sunshine. There’s another set of trails that start on the other side of town, too, near […]
Big Knife Provincial Park – A Photo Blog

A Snapshot of a Bug’s Life After our hike that day, we enjoyed tea and a snack at a picnic table in the 20 degree Celsius weather and a gusting wind at Big Knife Provincial Park. A tiny black bug, maybe a juvenile maple bug, made his way over the table’s smooth surface, which was […]

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” Lewis Carroll I took a great walk tonight, nowhere different from usual, just […]
A Tour Through the Mangroves

After we left the condo in Bucerias, we went a little farther south and stayed for a few nights in Nuevo Vallarta. While there, someone offered to take us on a boat tour of the canals along which grow mangroves that are protected habitat for crocodiles, blue herons, and a couple types of iguanas. I […]
