While the weather is still good, we are still exploring local parks, hikes and walks.  Here is a photo of Lightning Lake in Manning Provincial Park.

Of course having said that, in the middle of the month, we were locked inside due to the extremely unhealthy smoky air from the Oregon and Washington wildfires, as well as a local toxic fire at our riverside pier. Here is what it looked like when we tried to get out one day to a local beach...

 

Here is one of my favourite birds, a Wood Duck, at Beaver Lake in Stanley Park.

I hope you are able to still get out and safely enjoy your local area with your family and don't touch this poisonous toadstool!
