Author: GeoKs

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! ~ Denise / Mrs. GeoK

Make Your Month Loving

On March 1, 2026March 1, 2026 By GeoKsIn Photography2 Comments

A worthy objective for any month, "Make Your Month Loving" is particularly appropriate for February. And it's a good reminder to look for ways to be kind, present and helpful to those you love and the world in general.

With a little bit of effort, you can find lots of ways to make even the dreariest of winter months colourful!

Prince Edward Island Fall Getaway

After Charlotteown and Alma (New Brunswick), we finished our fall 2025 getaway to PEI with several days exploring beaches, lighthouses and more off-the-beaten track attractions and locations. And enjoying the full on fall colours - what we came for!

In the Spirit of the Season

On January 1, 2026December 28, 2025 By GeoKsIn Photography3 Comments

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase, "in the spirit of the season?" I think of family, traditions, good food and winter weather and I did my best to capture some of those ideas in five photographs for this month's edition of the Photo Blogging Challenge.
