The Prairie Dog town at Fort Whyte Alive is one area you can visit without paying admission fee. These guys live just outside the entrance. I often stop in my car on the way out of there to take pictures if I see any activity. They can sure be fun to watch sometimes. I have… Continue reading Prairie Dogs at Fort Whyte Alive

Bison at Fort Whyte Alive
These Bison were quite a distance away from the viewing areas, but I managed to zoom in enough so that, combined with cropping, I got some 1/2 decent photos. They have a nice herd of Bison at Fort Whyte Alive and it is nice to be able to see them in the city. They have… Continue reading Bison at Fort Whyte Alive
A Little Walk
Yesterday, I had absolutely nothing scheduled except for laundry, so after the laundry was done, I went for a walk along the Seine River. I just brought my little camera that does’t have a lot of zoom, since it fits into my pocket. First thing I found was on a tree trunk just behind my… Continue reading A Little Walk
Dog/House Sitting – Buddy & Coconut
I’ve found that looking after someone’s dog(s), so the owners can get away is great for me. I get to spend time with the dog(s) with lots of kisses and a cuddly critter to sleep with – without having any expenses for food or veterinarian services. The bonus is that people will pay me to… Continue reading Dog/House Sitting – Buddy & Coconut
A Couple of Hours at Fort Whyte Alive – part 2
Trips to Fort Whyte Alive are always nice. It is on the outskirts of Winnipeg, but you feel immersed right in nature. There are lakes, ponds or puddles, pastures, bush, a treehouse, bird feeding stations and a lot of birds and other critters. It is a great place to just get away without actually leaving… Continue reading A Couple of Hours at Fort Whyte Alive – part 2
June Trip to Riding Mountain National Park – part 6
After leaving the Pelicans and Ducks, I continued along the gravel road towards the Bison Enclosure. It is a fairly long drive, so I just sit back and enjoy it. On the way in, I completely missed photo opportunities for 2 Black Bears, that dashed into the bush before I could get my camera ready… Continue reading June Trip to Riding Mountain National Park – part 6
June Trip to Riding Mountain National Park – part 5
I had a good night’s sleep after that exciting Black Bear evening, and around 5:00 am, I was awake and heading out the door to see what I could find. First sighting was a White-tailed Deer, who looked to see who was stopping for her. Most people don’t even slow down for the deer, but… Continue reading June Trip to Riding Mountain National Park – part 5
June Trip to Riding Mountain National Park – part 4
When I left us in yesterday’s blog, I had checked into the hotel, met the horses in the corral. Then, I checked in on Facebook and posted a few pictures before getting ready to head back out for the late afternoon/evening drive. First stop was the Wishing Well, where I saw these White Suckers spawning. … Continue reading June Trip to Riding Mountain National Park – part 4
June Trip to Riding Mountain National Park – part 3
We finished yesterday’s entry as I was leaving the Boreal Trail in Riding Mountain National Park. The walk had such a sweet ending when I met a gorgeous little Pine Marten. The plan is to continue South and head for the Bison enclosure. I arrived at the Lake Audy Road without incident (or sightings), but… Continue reading June Trip to Riding Mountain National Park – part 3
June Trip to Riding Mountain National Park – part 2
When I left off yesterday, we were still on Highway #10 and ready to leave the Moose and head further South. After passing Moon Lake again, I decided to turn into the Boreal Trail and go for a walk. It was a beautiful day for a stroll and it is only 1 km, so it… Continue reading June Trip to Riding Mountain National Park – part 2
