The BC Ferry trip from Tsawwassen on the British Columbia mainland to Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island passes through some amazing scenery. The ferry takes you in among the Gulf Islands and has many photo opportunities. You might be fortunate enough to see whales breaching, porpoises swimming nearby, or a seal bobbing in the water close to shore.
I have taken many delightful trips during the warmer months and love to stand out on deck with my camera. On this trip, however, the skies were overcast and a cold wind was blowing. A few minutes outside in the blustery cold sent me back inside to enjoy the rest of the scenery from a comfy chair.
Meals and snacks can be purchased onboard. There is a special room on the car deck for those traveling with dogs. Anyone visiting the province of British Columbia should also try to include Vancouver Island in their places to see. This trip is truly a visual site.

Stumpy is a 3 legged Bobcat in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Stumpy, is an affectionate nickname given to a 3 legged Bobcat in the N.E. community of Beddington in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Stumpy is somewhat of a celebrity in neighbourhood as humans have nothing to fear, but keep your cats indoors and watch your small dogs, even in their own backyards.
Although Stumpy looks a little underweight, she will find food easier in the warmer months to come and beef back up again. Stumpy is a very good jumper and quite capable of hopping into your backyard or perching herself on your fence waiting for some small prey to come by. Including your cats and small dogs. We live with wildlife so protect your pets and do not leave them unattended outside.
I had heard of Stumpy for years but had never seen her until today when she decided to visit our neighbourhood.
A wonderful wildlife in the city moment!

Join us on our latest adventure as we journey into the icy wonderland of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, to explore the breathtaking natural phenomenon of the Back Bay Ice Falls.
We trekked along a path leading to an amazing view of Great Slave Lake. Then, followed the shoreline and passed through Back Bay Cemetery to reach the Ice Curtains. Returning on the marked trail, we completed a 3km loop.
Bundle up as it can be quite windy on the Lake. Snow grips for your boots and walking sticks are highly recommended as some sections of this hike can be slippery.
See the adventure through our eyes ...
