As we near the end of 2021 I once again reflect on the past year which always begins with a snowy scene in my front yard. The snow sticks around for a while until at least early March although my witch hazel flowers in February. It is at this time I start to look for […]
The Beach at Fintry Provincial Park I decided today to dedicate a post to the many colors of fall in both my garden, Fintry Delta and Fintry Provincial Park. The fall colors have been exceptional this year I believe due to weather patterns. The trees in this area mainly turn yellow in contrast to other […]
Highlights of my fall garden. Walks through Fintry Provincial Park BC
BLAZE OF YELLOW LEAVES This is my favourite time of the year to capture the essence of fall in Fintry Provincial Park. I have a particular walk I go on each day and I spent a good couple of hours this morning taking photos of scenes along the way while the sun was shining. At the […]

There are a few roses still blooming and the dahlia has flowered again […]
