Flame(s)

We had absolutely perfect camping weather at Cypress Hills Provincial Park, which is located in the southwest corner of SK. Rhett & Leah arrived late on Thursday night and Emily came by suppertime on Friday. Emily wasn’t able to arrange boarding for the dogs … so she brought them. Flame & [...]

Sights around Bow Summit

I found this post in my draft folder. Somehow I forgot to post it 10 days ago.
This photo was taken from inside the car. It is the sight we have seen so many times as we cross-over Bow Summit (travelling north) and we enter into the Mistaya valley. Do you see the [...]

Cypress Hills Vineyard & Winery

We were at Cypress Hills from Thursday until returning to Regina on Sunday. One of our highlights was visiting the Cypress Hills Vineyard and Winery which is located about 20 minutes southwest of Maple Creek on the highway to the Fort Walsh (which is a national historic park.)

Camping in Swift Current

We got into Swift Current by 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday (19th). Doug lit the pilot light on the water heater and we gave the washer & drier a workout. We went shopping for a new mattress set which will be delived on Friday. We went shopping for a few things for the [...]

Clouds

This is the closest that I get to an “art shot.” I saw some amazing clouds on this holiday. This photo was taken through the car window as we were driving to Swift Current from Dinosaur Provincial Park. Click here if you’d like to see a couple more sky photos. [...]

Dinosaur Prov. Park – north of Brooks AB

We got home from holidays on Sunday, August 23rd but I’ve been tuckered out, finishing off packing … and of course doing quite a bit of coffee-ing with friends. Time to get caught up on our holidays!
On Monday, August 17th we left Rhett & Leah’s in Calgary. It was a beautiful, sun-shining morning [...]

Calgary Zoo

When we got into Calgary … after having showers … we all went out to “The Keg” and had a great meal. We rented the movie “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People” and it was actually quite good except for the title. On Saturday we mainly putzed around the house … and [...]

Four Wolves Cross Our Path!

The most incredible thing happened to us … four wolves crossed the highway in front of us just north of Bow Lake (about 25 minutes south of our campground.) It doesn’t matter how much it rained … we saw four – FOUR – woves at one time.
At first I thought it was [...]

Making Fires at Waterfowl

Some people might not think that I need to post a photo of my perfectly designed fire … but I disagree. We are all pyromaniacs in our family and it is usually a fight to get to see who gets to make the fire.
I wanted all of you to be sure to know that [...]

Siffleur Falls

On Thursday, as the heavy clouds continued to hang low, we decided to head back east on the David Thompson Highway after Mistaya Canyon. We stopped at a pcinic area and made some lunch. We decided we would revisit Siffleur Falls as we’d been there about 15+ years ago. To get there [...]
