There is a lot of good views of the critters in the Assiniboine Park Zoo in the winter. Most of the animals live in the climate that we have here and get much more active in the winter than in the summer, when they would rather find a shady place to sleep. I went there… Continue reading Assiniboine Park Zoo in the Winter

A Walk in between Rain Showers
Showers were in the forecast for all day yesterday and we had a big storm the night before, so I decided to stay in my own area to walk around. Of course, I brought my camera and hoped that the rain would hold off until after I returned home. My first sighting was a man… Continue reading A Walk in between Rain Showers
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
Chickadees Found Me
If you’ve been with me for awhile, you’ll know that I made a Chickadee friend at my last apartment, where I had a balcony to put food out for him. He was affectionately called St. Peanut because in one of his first pictures his head was bowed in front of a peanut. I don’t have… Continue reading Chickadees Found Me
Another Photo Shoot with St. Peanut
There is no doubt that I am going to miss this little guy when I move next week, so when St. Peanut decided to spend a few minutes here with a friend yesterday afternoon and again this morning, I took lots of pictures. Many of the pictures are far from perfect, since he continues to challenge… Continue reading Another Photo Shoot with St. Peanut
A Walk in the Rain
I had most of the day on my own Wednesday, since Angie had to work. She gave me directions to a good place to walk so that was the plan. It was pretty wet, but not raining when I woke up, so I headed out after breakfast. Of course, it started to rain within a… Continue reading A Walk in the Rain
It is Still Winter at Fort Whyte Alive
Last month Mother Nature tried to fool us into thinking we would have an early spring, but she soon brought back the winter weather. So – winter activities have resumed as the ice has frozen on the lakes & rivers again. The Canada Geese stayed with us and are waiting for the weather to warm… Continue reading It is Still Winter at Fort Whyte Alive
A Flock of Common Redpolls
I found out this morning what eats the seed pods from the River Birch that is just off my balcony. There were dozens of Common Redpolls making short work of all those pods. They are not a bird that I am used to seeing, but the name did pop into my head. I had to… Continue reading A Flock of Common Redpolls
A Drive Through St. Vital Park
It is a fairly nice day so far with snow lightly falling, just a little bit of wind and the temperature hovering around -15C. They were predicting another storm, but it looks like that has been dropped from the Winnipeg forecast at this time. I decided to take a little drive through St. Vital Park… Continue reading A Drive Through St. Vital Park
Riding Mountain National Park – Day 2 continued
It seems amazing to me that I could be on a 2nd post for a day and I haven’t even had breakfast yet – but that is what happened on my 2nd day in the park this time. I was just leaving Graying Lake at the end of the last post, so there was the… Continue reading Riding Mountain National Park – Day 2 continued
