It’s November 1st and that means that winter is around the corner. The forecast is already showing a solid week of below 0C temperatures and with only two days left before that hits, I decided to head out on another mini adventure. Another one of these ‘closer than I thought’ places is Danielson Provincial Park […]
The road to nowhere….
A few days ago, I had the day off from work so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to go on another adventure. I read in my Saskatchewan trail guide that around Lower Quill Lake, there was a marshy area that not only had some wonderful trails but were also prime birdwatching areas. […]
Solo Camping – Narrow Hills
I just came home today from my first solo camping trip. Yes, solo! In fact, I think this was my solo trip full stop. Any other time I’ve been travelling, I’ve either met up with someone on the other end or went on a tour or an exchange. They’ve all been wonderful experiences but this […]
Calgary Trip – Day 4
My last day in Calgary was a bit sad. It was so nice to be there again and have that change of scenery so I wasn’t really looking forward to going home. In many ways, I really miss living there. The shopping, the city scape, and the surrounding outdoors are just hard to beat. On […]
Calgary Trip – Day 3
The last time I went to Calgary, I didn’t have a chance to go to the Rocky Mountains. In fact, the weather was so bad that time that I couldn’t even see any ‘land formations’ from within the city which for me, was quite upsetting since that was one of the best things about living […]
Calgary Trip – Day 2
The big thing to do in Calgary, I’m sorry to say, is to go shopping. It’s not that there aren’t lovely touristy places to go to but Alberta really is about cheap shopping and my trip certainly had some of that. But day 2 wasn’t all shopping. My brother took me to a place called […]
Calgary Trip – Day 1
While I admittedly have several other posts that should come before this one, I’d first like to tell everyone about my recent trip to Calgary. It may seem a bit odd to vacation in September but personally, I prefer heading out of town during the off season. When everyone is back in school or just […]
Long Weekend Hiking – Beaver Creek & Cranberry Flats
A couple of days after my Outlook jaunt, I went out with some wonderful ladies from one of the Meetup groups I belong to. We started off wandering through Beaver Creek which, due to flooding, is not completely open right now but we manged to get a little hiking in on the trails that are […]
Long Weekend Hiking – Outlook
This July long weekend, I had the chance to go on two hikes. The first one was in Outlook along the scenic and somewhat flooded South Saskatchewan river where we walked the longest pedestrian bridge in Canada. Here are some of the pictures I took:
Greenhouse Greenery
I don’t often have to venture away from the core buildings at the university but I did have a chance wander around the greenhouse today. There are definitely some amazing plants there! Here are some unedited pictures I took while nosing around. (Don’t ask me what many of these because I have no idea!)
