Anniversary Travelling

Elaine and I are away on a holiday for a few days at Waskesiu  for our anniversary.  We arrived last evening and today is our 35th anniversary.  It was raining when we arrived on Sunday evening and still light rain this morning, but this afternoon the sun came out through the clouds and we had a wonderful time touring around in the area.

One of the most beautiful places we were at this afternoon was the Waskesiu River where it comes out of Waskesiu Lake.  Here we are on the bridge on the walking trail.  Elaine went around the nature trail while I stayed and enjoyed the scenery and watched the waterfowl in this area.

This picture is looking up the Waskesiu River from the walking bridge.  The still water nearer the bridge was reflecting the trees and sky, with the rapids farther up river roaring in the distance.

 
After we got back from an afternoon of touring around we had dinner at a nice restaurant for our anniversary.   After dinner the sun was setting over the lake.  This picture is the view from the front of our suite. 

Beautiful Day in the Park

We had a beautiful sunny day today with a temperature high of 20C.   This is the nicest day we have had yet this spring.  This afternoon we went up to the start of the bike path in the northwest of the city and Elaine had her first bike ride of the season. I drove down to meet her at some places along the path.  Then she loaded the bike in the van and we drove to Wascana Park and went to Pine Island. 

There were a lot of people out in the park enjoying the nice day.   The picture is from the upper level on Pine Island.  The place I usually take pictures across the lake is from the walkway below.   

Elaine was happy to be out at the park on such a nice day. 

"This is the face I made when my picture was taken."  Actually I think I was just saying something when the picture was taken.   Aside from my expression I was also very much enjoying being out in the park.
