Donna's Adventures
Canada
Приєднався 29 тра 2006
Hello everyone! I enjoy wandering through the many parks that Edmonton and the area has, and learning about wildlife and plants that I otherwise would have never thought to look up. I also enjoy traveling around the huge country and exploring what Canada has to offer. I also enjoy cycling and painting. As an Ojibwe or Anishinaabe, I paint in the Woodlands style which depicts the deeper source of energy emitted by living and non-living beings. Tag along and see!
Maybe my videos will inspire some people to go explore their local city. Maybe visit the zoo. Or find some hidden park that you didn't know was there. Or maybe travel somewhere. Or maybe travel here. But I hope you enjoy your time here. ^_^

Willmore Wilderness Area Backcountry Hiking Trip - The Wild Hay River and Seep Creek
We made a two-night backcountry hiking trip into the Willmore Wilderness Area. It's a very enjoyable area nestled in among the Rocky Mountains. If you go be prepared as there are a number of water crossings in the area. It's also a popular area for horseback riding so there will be a fair amount of horse manure along the trails and at campsites.

Meerkats have a complex social structure to their family. For the safety of the group, one meerkat will often serve as a lookout for danger. Today, this one was sitting upright and monitoring the zoo patrons and possible dangers overhead. Even though they were very serious about their job, they still look cute.

Lucy the Indian Elephant lives at the Edmonton Valley Zoo. She is about 48 years old, and is in semi-retirement, so she is not on public display but sometimes can be seen when she is out for walks with her handlers. Watch as she dines on some grass and fans herself with her ears. You can hear her midway through the video. There has been a great deal of controversy about having an elephant in a ...

A coyote mother decided to try to make a den of our deck's underside.

There's also a lovely water fountain/pond/mini waterfall in one of the yards that I am pretty sure is acting as a great water source f...

Awesome experience. Great outdoor recreation.
Wow, what a capture Donna!
Beautiful place for hiking
Now that was quite the adventure!! I'd probably deal better with the cold water crossings more than manure...especially at the campsites. All in all though I can imagine it was quite a wonderful experience.
A wow of a hike, dear Donna. I've hiked a bit in both the Canadian Rockies and the American Rockies, but nothing as deep in the woods as this. How very wonderful for those who can accept the challenges and bring knowledge of the terrain with them, as you have! A great, great video! Thank you! Linda
What a gorgeous face...👌🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
Donna you had some trip in the back country...hiking and camping....you're well prepared and a real adventurist! I on the other hand wouldn't make it...I love how you made it though all your adventures! It was fun coming along!
" you can film me as much as you like but I'm not moving. I'm on duty!" 🤣🤣🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
It's that time of year again...beautiful. 👌🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
Too gorgeous for words aaaah! so sweet. 👌🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
Oh hello Lucy..what a dignified lady you are. Enjoy your retirement. ❤🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
Backcountry hiking in the Wilmore Wilderness Area. I watched it with great interest.
Hiking and camping. Wow. So nice to see ur adventure dear!
Wow this guys was cool Donna 😎 definitely would be happy having him on guard 👌🏻 Best wishes Simon
nice video thank you for sharing Warm greetings from Indonesia❤🎉❤🎉
Definitely an adventure!😊
I definitely want to go back and explore some more.
What a lovely place to hike and camp. So nice to see some rain. It hasn't rained here in ages. We need it so bad.
This looked like an awesome backpacking trip. I just saw my first grouse recently while hiking in Nevada. They do walk like chickens. That was a great idea to bring the water shoes for the creek crossing. That one crossing looked tough because of how fast the water was moving. I liked seeing all the interesting things you pointed out - from flowers to bugs to rocks. It looks like you had a very nice area to camp at too.
It was so awesome getting to hike here. I would hate to see the river in spring when there is more water flowing. And yeah, it was pretty fast and had some push - kind of why I didn't film myself walking as I wanted both hands for my poles to help keep my balance. Grouse really are awesome birds and it seems so funny how they prefer to run rather than fly. Hope you have a great weekend!
ฉันรักการผจญภัยเสมอ แล้วพบกันใหม่ 👍👍👍
Thank you so much!

What a lovely place Donna, I'd love to go for a hike there. Do you bring bear spray when walking there?? Thanks for another terrific and well made video - Great narration too. Wishing you a great weekend ahead.... 🙂 Thomas
Hi Thomas! Yes, we definitely bring bear spray with us - we both carry our own just in case. The water crossings were a lot of fun for me, and Lyndon will definitely bring his water shoes next time! Thanks so much and have a great weekend as well.
I've always wanted to take part in adventure trips.. it's so exciting and enjoyable!
