Cranberry Trail

Erica — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 19:52:18 +0000

On a gorgeous October day this past fall, I explored the Cranberry Trail in Callander ON. I stumbled upon the trail accidentally while driving around aimlessly one day and made a point to come back to walk the trail. The trail is well maintained and flat – so it would be a very accessible. I [...]

Opposite Problems

Erica — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 03:47:33 +0000

I went from having nothing much to write about to far too much to write about and no time to do it. Highlights include: New job New town New apartment All while trying to balance three volunteer commitments. Going a bit crazy over here but hopefully I’ll get back in the habit of writing very [...]

Twin White-Tailed Deer Fawns

We’ve seen these two fawns around our neighbourhood since springtime. Often, their mother was not far away. The other day, I was doing some work when I noticed them in our front yard. I had my camera nearby, so I was able to capture a few photos of them wandering down our street. Tame little [...]

Struggling With What To Say

Erica — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 02:58:55 +0000

I’ve been in stealth mode lately. I’m not updating my blog, tweeting, or posting on facebook (well… I am occasionally, but with nothing of substance). It’s not that life is uneventful. I just haven’t wanted to talk about it. What is there to say online when most of my face to face conversations go: “What [...]

Time Flies

Erica — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 20:07:58 +0000

I can’t believe summer is quickly coming to an end. It was absolutely fabulous to spend so much of the summer outdoors. More fabulous than expected? Disconnecting. So much so that I actually really grew to hate the moments that I was online. Maybe hate is too strong – but I certainly recognized that stress [...]

Summer :-)

Erica — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 17:38:00 +0000

Summer is finally here. It feels like I spend all fall and winter wanting summer to be here – and it always felt so far away. Somehow, between February and now, time has gone by at warp speed. How did it get here so fast? I leave early next week to spend most of my [...]

Swimming With Dolphins in Cienfuegos, Cuba

Erica — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:25:21 +0000

In March of 2011, I spent a week at an all-inclusive resort in Cuba. The only thing I did off the property of my resort was an excursion to swim with dolphins at the Delfinario de Cienfuegos. Dolphins fascinate me – probably because of their obvious intelligence and playfulness – so I looked forward to [...]

Anyone want to give me a boatload of money?

Erica — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 03:03:49 +0000

So, various cruise lines send me emails. Every now and again I open them up and tease myself with the great deals. Today? 27 day cruise from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia … with stops in Hawaii, Tahiti, Bora Bora, New Zealand, etc…. $1700. 32 day cruise which goes just about everywhere one can go [...]
