I was delighted to visit Hopewell Rocks Park in New Brunswick in October 2020, seven years after my first visit. Like many top tourist attractions, park attendance has taken a hit during the 2020 pandemic, with a drastically reduced number…

Shediac, New Brunswick is located on the Northumberland Strait off the Atlantic Ocean and is known as the Lobster Capital of the World. This town of fewer than 7000 people is a mecca for tourists and boasts a number of…

Life circumstances in 2018 prevented me from doing as much photography as I would have normally liked. Regardless, it was fun reviewing and reliving what we did and where we travelled this past year as I scrolled through my photos. 

I have had the opportunity over the last five years to visit the East Coast of Canada three times. Our very first visit was to Cape Breton Island of Nova Scotia and this was undoubtedly the most memorable one for…

Over the years, the zoo has worked hard to keep the exhibits fresh and exciting.…

I have been to Canada’s east coast several times, flying into New Brunswick’s biggest city, Moncton each time. A must-see on our list (of course) was the Magnetic Hill Zoo, touted as being the fourth best zoo in Canada. 

I have visited the Edmonton Valley Zoo twice. Both times were in the off-season: April 2014 and January 2017. 

While there are benefits to visiting a zoo when it is less busy, it also means that the cooler weather…

In my last post, I shared a few of my favourite scenery photos at Waterton Lakes National Park in southwestern Alberta, Canada. You can read it here.
