Exploring Elbow Falls
Towards the end of June, we spent some time admiring the beauty of Elbow Falls. This is the perfect spot if you’re looking for picturesque scenery and short, family-friendly hikes in Kananaskis. You can reach the looped route to the falls from paved walkways, and though there are some stairs, they are easily accessible. Other…

June in Photos
It’s been a busy one, folks. My kid finished Gr 2 (with three dress up spirit days thrown into the mix), Jan and I were fully vaccinated, and we’re surviving an intense heatwave. There was a lot of drawing, yummy treats, and time spent outdoors. Here are some highlights. Have a good one. Yolandie

May in Photos
I did a photo a day challenge in May, and I’m happy to say I actually stuck with it! Up until the last few days, anyway. Still, I did better than I imagined I would, and I’m proud of that. Most of these photos were featured on my Instagram as part of the challenge, though…

While I was Away
This post is basically a collection of random photos. I took some with my Instagram account in mind, but most are just spur of the moment, hey-look-a-shiny! pics. Did they make it to Instagram? Nope. Still, this is a pretty good collage of my quiet, uneventful lockdown life, and I figure I should document it…

Montecasino Bird Gardens (Vacation Pics Part Two)
I mentioned in the first vacation photo post that we did one touristy thing while in South Africa, and this is it. When Kayla was about a year old, we also visited the bird gardens. Since she doesn’t remember that, and she’s quite the zoology buff, we reckoned she might enjoy going again. So, on…

Vacation Pics (Part One)
Aren’t you proud that we managed to take some photos on this last visit to South Africa. You know, amid the chaos that was this last visit to South Africa. 🙂 We managed to do a total of one touristy thing, the pics of which I’ll share with you next week. Brace yourselves for lots…
