There we stood on the Terrasse Dufferin in QUEBEC CITY.  At our back was the beautiful Chateau Frontenac and spread beneath us, the Old Lower Town and the timeless Saint Lawrence. Rainwater had formed mini pools on the individual timbers of the boardwalk in April 2010, when these photos were taken. In Mid-June, the sun …

Next time you are blowing out the candles on your birthday cake, spare a thought for Quebec City, Canada, (pronounced Kebec) who turned 400 years old back in 2008.  The party was huge – it lasted for a year and reportedly cost the Canadian Government a cool $110 Million.  Now that’s a party. France and …

To reach Tadoussac, a well known whale watching village 212 km from Quebec City, you must first of all travel 212 km through some of the most beautiful country wedged between the Saint Lawrence River and the mountains.  Then when the Saguenay River is reached, it is all aboard the car ferry to reach Tadoussac …

My Aussie brain conjured up images of the American Wild West when I heard the name “Dry Gulch”, and this was not the  ONLY TIME  it would happen in Canada.  But dry Gulch Provincial Park is located just south of Kootenay National Park, a Canadian wonderland of forest, river, mountain, valley, bears and moose.

Some Vancouverites took us to Queen Elizabeth Park Vancouver while hosting us in their home. It’s so lovely when we stay with friends as we get to see what they think is important in their town. This beautifully landscaped park, the second most visited park in Vancouver behind Stanley Park receives 6 million visitors a …

My home town sits wedged between the ocean and a river.  On my daily walk along the beach, I look past a jetty, purpose built for fishermen and beyond to a tropical island.  When we travel I am drawn to river trips to explore caves, or snorkeling forays into the ocean.  My photographic files overflow …

On the Icefields Parkway, between Banff and Jasper in the Canadian Rocky mountains, (one of the great drives of the world) we came across this lake.  I do not know it’s name, but looking at this photo it sure looks like the head of a Wolf.  Might it also be called Blue Lake – it …

This photograph is the reason why we always travel in Spring.  The mother had recently given birth to twin fawns in a road side field.  Another baby was in the grass nearby.  Speed limits are reduced on the roads in British Columbia, to protect wildlife. On many occasions driving at a slower speed enabled us …
