The gate to the West Beach in Bird’s Hill Provincial Park is always open – but it is a little chilly for swimming in the winter and I’ve never gone in there. Today I decided to take a look. After parking the car, I noticed that there are trails around the lakes – so I… Continue reading Lost in Bird’s Hill Provincial Park – part 2

Life Goes On

Since my fall in December, I haven’t gone out much at all. I did take a return trip to Fort Whyte Alive, but otherwise, it has been only grocery shopping at the store next door to my apartment or ordering online for delivery. My FitBit bugs me to keep moving – so I walk around… Continue reading Life Goes On

Revisiting Assiniboine Forest

Posted in Activities, animals, Assiniboine Forest, Assiniboine Park, critters, life, Manitoba, Nature, pictures, snow, trees, walking, weather, Wildlife, Winnipeg, winter3 Comments

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

I am still trying to find the Cardinals at Bunn’s Creek and they are just never around on the days/times when I go. I still had a nice walk, talked to a few people and pet a few dogs – so the walk wasn’t a waste of time or energy. One very helpful lady who… Continue reading Back to Bunn’s Creek

A Chickadee Morning at Birds Hill Provincial Park

It was still dark when I headed out this morning. The forecast for today was going to be above freezing and I wanted to be at Birds Hill Provincial Park shortly after the sun would be rising. It was daylight when I arrived, but the sun was hiding behind a sky full of clouds. It… Continue reading A Chickadee Morning at Birds Hill Provincial Park

Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 4, Relax

Posted in Activities, Canadian Museum for Human Rights, exercise, FitBit, human rights, ice, Manitoba, pictures2 Comments

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

A Day in the Life

Currently I have a few things going on and some of them I haven’t mentioned here. So, right now, I am house/dog/fish sitting.   I am also visiting with my Mother, who is currently in the hospital after falling and breaking her shoulder about a week and a half ago.  I also volunteer at the Assiniboine… Continue reading A Day in the Life

It was such a beautiful morning today, that I knew it was time for a visit to Fort Whyte to see what critters might be around and have a nice walk in the fresh air and sunshine. I saw and/or heard a lot more than I got pictures of, since many of the critters (especially… Continue reading Fort Whyte Alive – November

Full Moon

Posted in FitBit, Fort Whyte Alive, Moon, Nature, pictures, Winnipeg

It was still dark when I got up this morning (which is how it will be for the next several months here now that we are heading into winter).  I had an appointment to get the car in to have winter tires put on and the summer ones stored until spring.  There were also a… Continue reading Full Moon

Trees, Flowers, Geese and FitBit

Posted in birds, FitBit, Nature, pictures, Seine River, trees, walking, wildflowrs, Winnipeg2 Comments

It is time to return to my walks at home – so I took a stroll along the Seine River and my country road on the other side of the river this morning. The leaves are quickly coming down, but there are still some very pretty colours on them. The Canada Geese are gathering in… Continue reading Trees, Flowers, Geese and FitBit
