I went out for a walk along the Seine River (well, the still frozen Seine River), to see if I could find any signs of spring.

There are lots of Canada Geese back here in Winnipeg, but I kind of suspect that they have teamed up with Mother Nature in this April Fools joke on us here.

A lot of snow has melted over the last month, but then we got the deep freeze again and everything has stood still, waiting for some warmer weather.  The path on this side of the river was covered in ice and snow, which made walking difficult.

I knew the path I like, on the other side, which is right along the riverbank would be even worse to walk on because of the ups & downs.  Since it would certainly be covered in ice would be very difficult to walk on, so I took the paved trail that was on level ground.

I had to step off the dry pavement to let a couple of bicyclists pass by me though.  They didn’t seem to think they should ride on the snow/ice.

I am about 1/2 way through my walk at this point.  I could either turn and go back the way I came or continue on to the street and walk on the sidewalk.  I chose the sidewalk and was soon back home.

I didn’t find Spring today – maybe another day (hopefully soon).
