Here are some shots I took when we went to Monroe Lake, BC, Canada and on the way there. We went kayaking! The following is off on the road:

The other day, I went to a few secondhand stores. Here is some of the beautiful artwork I saw on my outing. Also, I took some shots of a neighbourhood bunny on our grass. Moreover, we saw a grey jay stop

I went to St. Mary's Lake, BC to do some kayaking! Thought I'd share what I saw! The St. Mary's river flows into this lake and then flows out of it, which you can see in the next picture below. There were

Last stretch on our hike at Silver Springs Lakes, BC, Canada! Can you identify this frog? There were a number of these flowers on the hike as well: This is a very interesting rock on the trail! Maybe water

And so we continue hiking in south-eastern British Columbia... The trail goes southward on the eastern shores of the 3 lakes. In the above you can see three tips of the mountains. The following below I

That's right, the beginning another series! This time we went to Silver Springs Lakes, close to Elko, BC, Canada. I enjoyed the trip. The first photo you see is of the first lake out of the 3 you hike

The final part of our adventure! As we finish passing by Canuck Lake we head on towards Turtle Lake and get back to the start, completing the 3 lake loop. There were not many turtles at Turtle Lake (ironic?).

A view of Premier Lake in the Canadian Rockies. I went with my parents here when I was younger and did some canoeing. What brought us here this month was a hike, pictures of which I will post in the future

Your friendly-neighbourhood cat: Barney! Before I went on a walk he followed me on my way out, wanting to be with me. Then on my walk I got a shot of some interesting moss on a rock. When I got home, some

On Saturday I went on a trip to Northern Idaho to go to the traditional Catholic Latin Mass, and visited with some folks as well. I got a few shots of the landscape. It was kind of smokey outside, hence

Here are a few shots of the male in the Rocky Mountains. Native mostly to Canada all year round, they just keep pecking away! I see these more rarely. Sometimes when you are in the forest, you stop walking

These are our friendly White-tailed Deer. Around our rural place they've become known to drink from our birdbath. Last year, as the picture shows, we even placed a bucket of water for them to drink from

This is Hourglass Lake. Yup, a lake in the shape of an hourglass--two large bodies of water and a small canal joining them. It was a tough hike to get up this high to see it. A forest fire came through
