The drive to Riding Mountain National Park takes approximately 3 hours, but the clock stops as soon as I pass the East Gate on the way in on #19. The Black Bear was quite a distance away when I saw him and I stopped the car immediately while he stood beside the road. As soon… Continue reading Riding Mountain National Park in Early Fall – Day 1, Part 2
Riding Mountain National Park in Early Fall – day 1, part 1
Every once in awhile I just have to get out of the city and spend some time in nature. I planned a 3 night getaway in Riding Mountain National Park and on Monday, that is where I headed.

Beautiful Day for a Walk at Fort Whyte Alive
After a wet and chilly morning, the sun came out and I decided to head to Fort Whyte Alive for a walk. We are moving into autumn weather and the nights are getting cooler, so problems with insects are all but gone and the walk was pleasant. If you were to guess that there were… Continue reading Beautiful Day for a Walk at Fort Whyte Alive
Back to the English Garden with my Camera
I will warn you in advance that the pictures are not great and I obviously need more practice on moving birds, but I did diversify a bit, so the ones other than birds aren’t too hard to look at.
English Garden at Assiniboine Park
I am often in the Assiniboine Park because I volunteer at the zoo, but I seldom go into the English Garden, which is right beside the zoo. Yesterday, I was early for my shift and decided to spend the extra time in the garden. I only had my phone with me, so the pictures are… Continue reading English Garden at Assiniboine Park
More Toby Time
I arrived at Toby’s house a little before his family were heading out on their last vacation before the boys headed back to school. Toby gave me his usual big smile (which always makes anyone around him smile) and we said good-bye to his family as they drove off on their adventure. Toby had some… Continue reading More Toby Time
Meet Neko and Finnegan
As you may have noticed, I love all critters, so when I was asked if I could look after a couple of kitties, by just coming in a couple of times a day to give them food, water and some attention, I said yes. I went over and met the owner and the cats a… Continue reading Meet Neko and Finnegan
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
White-tail Deer on my Doorstep
A White-tail Deer and her 3 fawns have been on the area in front of my window for the last several days. The first pictures were taken from my window looking over a field just past the parking lot in July and August – up to yesterday. This morning, I found them on my doorstep. … Continue reading White-tail Deer on my Doorstep
Assiniboine Park Zoo
When I normally volunteer at the Assiniboine Park Zoo, I do not carry my camera with me. If I want to take a picture, I can use my phone. I was right beside the zoo while wandering in the English Garden though and decided to use my membership to go into the zoo as a… Continue reading Assiniboine Park Zoo
