Host PJ challenge us to express our Point of View photographically this month. Here, I share thoughts re: April snow, EVs and more.

Our family enjoys outdoor adventures in the beautiful southwest corner of Alberta: hiking, biking, nature photography and geocaching are some of our favourite activities.
We started hiking as a family in 2004, when our youngest was 4 years old. We started geocaching in 2006, when our friends "Sears Tower" introduced us to high-tech treasure hunting. We especially enjoy earthcaches. We've been slowly migrating from paved path cycling to single-track riding. And as far as photography goes, we've been improving our skills ever since I started blogging about our outdoor adventures in 2008.
I blog mainly to create a family journal that includes all of our outdoor adventures. It’s a convenient way for extended family to find out about what we’ve been up to, when and if they want. Beyond those entirely selfish reasons, I like to think I'm providing some visitors to Calgary, Canmore, Banff National Park and Kananaskis Country with information that will help them choose between between the many of hiking options available.
Thanks for visiting!

Out and About in Buenos Aires
Our travel schedule allowed just a a few half days and one full day in Buenos Aires. We spent most of that time out and about in the Recoletta neighbourhood. But we did explore a few other central areas, thanks to a rooftop photography tour. We came away convinced we should include a return visit to BA if/when we finally decide to plan a trip to the Patagonia region and/or Atacama Desert.
Eleven
Eleven is an interesting number for many reasons. Eleven is also how many years the Photo Blogging Challenge has been running! My heartfelt appreciation to host PJ, for continuing to organize and host the PBC. And congratulations to all my fellow bloggers, whether you've been part of the journey from the beginning or joined in along the way.
Hiking Argentina: Sendero al Mirador Beagle (aka Hayas Trail to Beagle Viewpoint )
Highlights of this short, easy hike in the woods above Ushuaia include walking past peat bogs, a view of the Martial glacier and a viewpoint overlooking the Beagle Channel.
Birding in Tierra del Fuego National Park, Argentina
Booking a guided birding tour to Tierra del Fuego National Park turned out to be one of the best decisions of our time in Ushuaia, Argentina. Not only did we encounter almost every headline bird species in the area, we learned a lot about the region's plants and other wildlife. Plus we didn't have to worry about finding the right local bus service to get back to our hotel!
