Our lovely park here in Whitecourt is well visited. This is the fishing pond for the kids. There is a water splash park, lazy river, play area, fields for games. These kids were catching crayfish. Someone has been introducing them to the trout pond. #FestivalPark #Whitecourt #Alberta

Here's your morning dose of cuteness. These fox kits had so much energy as they ripped around the hillside just before bedtime. For mom's sake, I hope they tuckered themselves out! #wildlife #foxes

We bought some Asparagus at the local No Frills store that was very good.

Jeffries Bros - Product of Manitoba, Canada.

Pictured here is half of it. This only needed a bit of a trim. LIttle waste.

We are buying Canadian where we can.

I enjoy taking pictures. My pictures are just pictures so that I can have a good look at what it was that I saw.

My little camera is old. A PowerShot SX620 HS. I have a walking stick that doubles as a monopod.

So my pictures aren't great. Cropped & a bit fuzzy. #birds #nature

During the week a dog named Bunsen texts his family.

Those texts are saved.

Today they are shared.

This is Texts From Bunsen!

(some context - Bunsen had a really hard first night away from us and Beaker was put in his pen to help him- they cuddled together all night 🥺)

The blackbirds have returned. This female red-winged blackbird was singing her little heart out today. I think she was looking for a boyfriend. #MayDay #birds #AthabascaRiver

It was a beautiful weekend for walking. We went down to the #AthabascaRiver Geese are honking. They are looking for nesting spots. Some ducks are back. We didn't see any eagles. Sometimes an eagle will hang around looking for a duck dinner. #Whitecourt #BlueSky #BlueMonday

Now crocheters can get the look of knitting without having to learn how to knit. It's called the waistcoat stitch. I'm going to use it on some cotton baskets I'm crocheting. 🧶

Happy first day of Spring! Soon we'll see the babies again.

It was quiet morning in the park - 2016. There was no one else in the park. Not even any dog walkers. It was just me and this heron. It was the first time I had ever seen a #BlueHeron #BlueSkyMonday #birds

I've never seen one of these birds before. It was underneath the Saskatoon bush in our back yard. Our chickadees like to sit in this bush to eat the sunflower seeds and peanuts that we put out for them.
