June and Stampede Weekend

 


We made into the Williams Lake Tribune's montages of the Stampede Parade!  The Tribune reporter was across the street from us and we were in the backdrop of many of her photos.  I'm sitting at the curb in a gray hat and a pink shirt and Leo's sitting further back under the trees in a lawn chair.

I haven't posted much lately because I lost my phone and haven't been taking any pictures.  We've been out camping at Horsefly Lake once and I'm still training for the PEI walk.  We made it to 18 km but now we've scaled back as it was taking up most of our days with a four hour walk and rest afterward.


Patti and I rode our bikes down to the eagles' nest on a non walking day. I brought Leo's camera to take a few pictures.


The adult was on the nest and the two eaglets were up and in view.


Here Patti is sitting on the riprap at river's edge checking out the eagle nest. Note the curious marmot in the background.

Big Momma


They've gotten pretty used to us as we stop for a break here on our walks.

Here's the other adult eagle in a nearby tree.


And more marmot cuteness:





Meanwhile Leo flew back to Nova Scotia for a week to visit his sisters.

While Leo was home he helped with the garden at the family home in Dartmouth, including power washing the house.
