A Winter Walk in Mill Creek Ravine
Today (January 5th) I went for a walk in one of my favorite areas of the city, but someplace I hadn’t got to yet this winter. I love all of the little (and a few not so little) bridges. The Mill Creek always keep flowing offering a wonderful reflective contrast to the white snow. Another [&...

January Ice and Snow
Posted
in Edmonton was not very snowy but finally in the last week around 15cm fell. This snow freshened up the landscape, smoothed out the bumps of ice on the river, and inspired me to get out and explore (especially down by the river). Advertisements

Posted
Yesterday I was out for a walk in the Edmonton river valley. That in itself is pretty common but on this day, I strayed from the usual path and discovered views of my City which were refreshingly different. These photos were taken from the south side of the river (North Saskatchewan), west of the...

Posted
Mid-October in Edmonton – we are past the peak of autumn foliage color and in fact a good swath of the river valley has taken on the grey color of bare trees. However there are still a few trees fulled enrobed in gold or red and a few (somehow) holding onto green leaves. What I […]
