Well it has certainly been a busy summer. I finished my first year of college, YAY! Great learning experience even online. I was looking forward to a productive finish to August however I broke my leg just before school ended and alas I have been very limited on my needle art studio setup, travel to the mountains for photographing wildlife and even our summer end camping trip to the mountains was not an option this year, 😦
Ahhh, such is life!
So it is time to get back at it and today I have the photos I took on our modified summer end vaca. We went to Edmonton to stay at our favourite place, this time with our cat Toby, we enjoyed some great food at Mr. Mike’s, played some games at the Rec Room, an amazing drive to Elk Island and generally relaxed to the max.(all the while being compliant with COVID-19 safe guidelines)
These photos are of Beaver Pond an easy hiking trail in the park.
Elk Island is a national park about 40 minutes east of Edmonton. The park has several trails from easy to difficult and gives visitors the ability to see the wildlife by car, hiking or bicycling. There is camping at the park however this has been curtailed by the pandemic and should be confirmed through their website.
These beautiful creatures are why we went to Elk Island and going early at 0630h paid off, we saw two herds and some loners on our drive through the park. I got numerous shots and will be adding more to the gallery section of this website. Our secondary goal was to go to Beaver Pond where we got out and slowly walked (limped and hobbled) for a short hike.
A really lovely way to spend our day on our anniversary vaca!
Remember we are all in this together so wear your mask, wash your hands and physical distance when possible, the life you save my be your Mom’s…
