The original plan for my next visit to Assiniboine Forest was to go much earlier in the morning – but that didn’t happen. A few days ago I ordered a Poinsettia from Shermerdine and it was ready this morning – so I went there first. I was amazed at how beautiful this was since I… Continue reading Revisiting Assiniboine Forest

A Beautiful Morning in Birds Hill Provincial Park – part 2
After finishing the Prairie Winds trail, I got back in the car and continued my drive through the park. Next stop was a short one at a little overlook. I walked over to it from the parking lot, took one photo and wandered around a bit before getting back in the car. I hadn’t gone… Continue reading A Beautiful Morning in Birds Hill Provincial Park – part 2
A Winter Walk at Fort Whyte Alive
It was a pretty chilly morning when I decided I needed a nature break, but nature was calling, so I bundled up and headed for Fort White Alive yesterday. You can see larger versions of these photos by clicking on them and scrolling through. I had almost finished the loop around, when I saw a… Continue reading A Winter Walk at Fort Whyte Alive
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
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
A Walk with the Deer
I am back house/dog sitting with my big buddy Toby. It was time to go for a morning walk and we were greeted by some White-tailed Deer just outside the yard. They gracefully trotted away and we continued on to the river and walked along the edge. A pair of Canada Geese were on the… Continue reading A Walk with the Deer
Adventures in House/Dog Sitting
Time is just flying by too fast and I haven’t had time to sit down and write anything here in much too long. This should have been posted about 3 weeks ago – but here it is. 🙂 Toby and I both managed to survive a few days together again when his family went away… Continue reading Adventures in House/Dog Sitting
Nice Day for a Walk
Thursday was a beautiful day here with the sun shining and the temperatures around the 0C mark. Generally the weather in January is more in the -30C to -40C and I only go outside when necessary. I have to take advantage of the nice weather, and where better to go than Fort Whyte Alive in… Continue reading Nice Day for a Walk
Day 2 – Riding Mountain National Park – Oct 17
Today is my 2nd and last day in the park for this trip, so I was up before dawn to get breakfast at Tim Hortons next door to the motel. I noticed the moon when walking over there and decided to get a picture before leaving for the park. There had been frost overnight, so… Continue reading Day 2 – Riding Mountain National Park – Oct 17
Day 2 continued – Riding Mountain National Park Oct 17
When the Moose had moved on, I said good-bye to Anne and continued towards the Bison enclosure. I was looking at the beautiful fall colours as I entered and after going around a bend in the road, it was suddenly foggy. The tall grasses were interesting in the fog with the frost still on them… Continue reading Day 2 continued – Riding Mountain National Park Oct 17
