On my drive out to Lockport the other day, I saw a hot air balloon floating in the sky. I remembered the day I finally had a ride in that balloon. I say finally – because it took several bookings before the weather was just right, but it was worth the wait.

After that thought, I continued out to Lockport – but on the return drive to Winnipeg, I thought about Kildonan Park. That is where the hot air balloon ride was scheduled to start each time – before cancellation due to the weather. Link to the flight.

Other than all the attempts to get on the balloon ride, I had hardly been to Kildonan Park, except for a couple of times when I went to take photos of the flowers. This time I took flower photos – but then I walked around the entire park, which I have never done before. It was a beautiful walk.

These are the flower beds that I have photographed before – of course, they are new plantings each year.
These ducks & ducklings were on a pond that I had never seen before. It is a beautiful spot.
Behind the pond were the toboggan sides and a huge park (where some people were exercising in the distance. That huge park is where my hot air balloon ride started.
Then – more ducks, ducklings and flower gardens.
  • Witches Hut – front & back –>
  • I’ve never been in it and due to Covid-19 – I didn’t get to go inside it this time either.
  • Another little pond with lots of birds.
  • Couldn’t resist the cute Red Squirrel
  • Rainbow Stage (outdoor theatre)
  • I’ve never been there though.
  • Canada Geese on the Red River
  • I met sweet Stanley (& his humans) when I was almost finished my walk.
