Friday was a bright & sunny morning with temperatures around the 0C mark. I couldn’t let a day like this go by without getting out and taking some pictures and since I haven’t been to Oak Hammock Marsh for awhile, that is where I headed. I got there just before noon and decided to have… Continue reading Beautiful Winter day at Oak Hammock Marsh
Back at the Zoo
I spend quite a bit of time at the Assiniboine Park Zoo – both as a volunteer and sometimes just as a member on my own time. A couple of days ago, I had to be there for a meeting in the afternoon, so I decided to go a bit earlier with my camera. Inside Assiniboine… Continue reading Back at the Zoo
Windchill at Fort Whyte Alive
It looked like a beautiful morning today and the temperature was starting at -4C this morning and rising to -1C during the day. Unfortunately the forecast didn’t mention the wind and therefore the windchill. It wasn’t just that I just missed it, since I talked to others who said the same thing. I didn’t realize… Continue reading Windchill at Fort Whyte Alive
Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 4, Relax
There is just so much information in this museum, that it is impossible to take it all in at once. Because of this, there are a couple of places to just relax. Of course, there are plenty of spots to sit during your visit, but one place is here just to relax and reflect. I… Continue reading Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 4, Relax
Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 3, Viola Desmond
Viola Desmond is one of the Canadian human rights stories in the museum. I didn’t take many pictures of her small exhibit, but when I go back again soon I will look to see if there is more. I do have links to websites with more information that I will add though. Most of us… Continue reading Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 3, Viola Desmond
Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 2, Nelson Mandela
It was less than a 5 minute walk to the Canadian Museum of Human Rights from the Forks, so I was soon inside, where I lined up to pay my admission. The lineup moved along quickly and I had soon paid for my admission. It is $17.00 per day for a Senior. I asked about… Continue reading Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 2, Nelson Mandela
Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 1, The Forks
The Canadian Museum of Human Rights opened in Winnipeg a little over 4 years ago and I finally decided it was time to visit. I took a bus to The Forks instead of paying for parking. We had been spoiled with having free parking there for such a long time, that many of us are… Continue reading Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 1, The Forks
Photo Shoot with St. Peanut
I haven’t featured St. Peanut here in ages, since I don’t feed the birds in the summer when natural food is abundant. My little feeder has been out for a couple of weeks now and I’ve got several Chickadees visiting so I sat at the window for just a few minutes and ended up with… Continue reading Photo Shoot with St. Peanut
Assiniboine Park Zoo Visit
I am at the Assiniboine Park Zoo a lot since I have been volunteering there for the last year and a half, but my picture taking while volunteering is limited to my cell phone. Yesterday I had some time to go there – not as a volunteer, but as a member with my camera. It… Continue reading Assiniboine Park Zoo Visit
Fort Whyte Alive on a Sunny, but Chilly Morning
We have had a very cold autumn this year, but the Canada Geese are still hanging around until the last minute for their migration south. This morning it was -6C, but very sunny and they were forecasting a high of +6C. Of course, I was back home again before that temperature was reached – but… Continue reading Fort Whyte Alive on a Sunny, but Chilly Morning
