A good friend once said to me: "If a door opens in front of you - get off your ass and dance through it...laughing."

I'm trying, Nancy!

Autumn walks

Best autumn evah! We've had some wonderful walks in the crunching leaves.




This is Southland park. We don't get there very often, but for a change of scenery, we strolled through Carburn park and crossed the bridge to the off-leash park.




It was a beautiful day - warm enough for a dip in the river.












Our perfect autumn was rudely interrupted by a blast of winter, but only for one day. This is the view from my desk at work. Brrrr.




And we're back to Indian Summer...
We've discovered a hidden gem just off Beddington Trail. We used to wander along the bike paths down by Nose Creek there, but that can be a bit busy. Dan works in this area quite often, so he's found a way to get to the trails beyond the bike traffic. We can wander for hours here and only occasionally run into other dog walkers.








There's a little creek about as wide as a large dog.




Yep, just the right size for a little cool down.




Pretty views out over the valley.




We crossed over to the bike path to soak up some sunshine on their bench.




Yesterday was another amazing day, so we headed out to Bragg Creek. One of my Flickr friends recently posted some photos from Beaver Flats and I wanted to see it. Weird - we've seen beaver ponds in Argentina, but not in Canada.
There are a lot of photos, so make yourself comfy.
This is the biggest of the beaver ponds.




























A hot dog.




A cool dude.




A beaver lodge.
























And the road home. Man we live in a beautiful place!
