A few photos of the bear snow sculptures a woman i

A few photos of the bear snow sculptures a woman in St. Vital in South Winnipeg, Manitoba has been creating in her yard. I stopped by earlier this week to take a look. They're cute and made me smile. Another woman was there also taking photos. She said she's been telling her grandkids about the deer she sees on her walks. Now she can tell them about bears too!

Throwback Thursday to a visit to Twinings Tea in London in 2015. Twinings has been selling tea for over 300 years. At this oldest shop in Westminster, they have a Sampling Counter and a mini-museum as well as many varieties of tea for sale.⁠

A few photos from yesterday's walk in Henteleff Pa

A few photos from yesterday's walk in Henteleff Park in south Winnipeg, Manitoba. The 30-acre park runs alongside the Red River and has the remnants of shelter planting from when it was the city's tree nursery as well as a natural riparian forest. Normand Creek runs through the park providing a spawning area and backwater for fish species.

.

Métis families settled here shortly after the Selkirk Settlers arrived in 1812 and formed a market garden community. In 1924, the Henteleff family bought 40 acres of riverfront land and launched a market garden operation. Their family were one of the first Jewish market gardeners in western Canada. Nathan and Rose Henteleff retired in 1967, when the land was expropriated by the city. In 2002, the land was designated as a public park.

2020 has felt like a big detour (or dead end) when it comes to travelling (and other things). In a new blog post I reflect on how staying home has impacted my thoughts and attitudes about travel.

Came across this car a few years back in Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona's Painted Desert. It is a reminder that Route 66 once ran through part of the park.⁠
