It’s so good to have friends who know the area one travels to! We were very lucky this time to have as guides Olaf and Kasia. They took us in, showed us around and shared with us a few of their favorite spots. Thank you, once again for your hospitality. It was so great to visit! I so hope they’ll visit us soon!!

You cannot go to Vancouver and avoid the water. Living in land locked Alberta a visit to the ocean is always a treat. I can spend hours on a beach watching waves, birds and people. Add to this a bit of sunset colors and the whole outing is a success. One can always find something interesting to take a photo of, as well. Life is good! Here is a few images I took when we were exploring close to the ocean.

I haven’t been to Stanley Park in Vancouver in ages, so we’ve decides to spend a lovely day taking trails and admiring wonderfully colorful forest. It’s a large park (over 400 hectares) and there is no way to see all of it during one day, but the hours we have been able to spend there were wonderful and allowed us to explore and discover some forest magic…

I can’t believe it has been almost a year since we have enjoyed our last trip to Vancouver, BC. We have had only a few days to drive there, visit a bit and drive back, however, we have taken a ton of pictures along the way. The weather was, mostly, great, the views fantastic and the fall colors everywhere. I’ll start the series (there, truly are too many pictures to keep them in one post ;)) with a few shots from our drive to Vancouver. One has to travel through the Rockies to get there from Edmonton, so, it was not a great hardship, though it takes a full day of driving to get there. We did take a couple of stops on the way in places we have visited before as well as a couple of new ones. One likes to explore a bit, if there is time, after all ;D

Time flies! It’s already fall and I can’t help but feel that this year is flying by way too quickly. I was looking for some inspiration today. It’s a cold, gloomy day today and I’m in need of some cheering up. I happened upon some of the pictures I took in May at Elk Island National Park, when spring has just started and we had plenty of time of good weather and sunshine to look forward to. It’s good to have memories like that to look at, when it’s not the best time to wander about outside, thus I’ve decided to share them with you, in hope of brightening your day as well. For those of us, here in Alberta experiencing their first winter storm of the season (I can barely believe myself that today some parts of the province are expecting to get 20cm of snow!). I guess, I shouldn’t be complaining about our weather in Edmonton, since, it is not snowing yet and we enjoy balmy plus 1oC .. Oh joy!! So, here it is, a bit of spring sunshine and nature (we even saw the elusive elk at Elk Island that day, among other animals, and they can be quite shy on occasion). Enjoy!!
