Misty morning in Beaudry Provincial Park

October 29, 2016 by wpeck

Head west of Winnipeg, really just a few minute’s drive, and you will find the most delightful little park. Beaudry Provincial park has a picnic area, washrooms and … well not much more. Except, there are wonderful walking trails, that morph to cross-country ski trails in winter. A friend and I headed out on Friday, … Read more

Getting better at quitting quitting

June 24, 2016May 10, 2016 by wpeck

It’s been a long time since my last post, but not yet a year. My last break exceeded a year. Hey, I’ll take my little victories when I can find them. I obviously need  to track and police my walking. I will never understand that, since I am almost always thrilled once I am out … Read more

Let’s try this again

June 24, 2016August 27, 2015 by wpeck

Here I am, over a year since my last post. However, I have become very lazy, and need to break the inertia. I remember that my walking exploration helped get me out and about, especially when I could come back here and talk about it. I hurt my knee in the spring, and was shut down … Read more

Bright and sunny, but wow … cold!

December 22, 2013December 21, 2013 by wpeck

I did get out for a walk today, but opposite to my norm, I walked a lot less than planned. I had some running around to do, and then planned a stop at Fraser’s Grove park, near my library branch. I was looking forward to the walk, as this park goes down to the river, … Read more

Shopping … then walking

December 20, 2013December 20, 2013 by wpeck

I’m proud of this one. I don’t like to shop. It is possibly the most stressful and exhausting activity that I do. Today, I had three stops to make (multiple stores makes it worse), but after the last one, even though it was dark, we carried on up to the dog park for a quick … Read more

The finale

December 15, 2013December 15, 2013 by wpeck

I am leaving Vancouver Island tomorrow morning. I had one thing left to do, and I can’t believe how close I came to deciding I had run out of time so should skip my trip to ‘Chosin Pottery. Metchosin  is a tiny town, about 30 minutes from Victoria, and is the home of one of … Read more

Countdown to winter

December 15, 2013December 14, 2013 by wpeck

Not much of a walk today, though I spent a fair amount of time at it. In fact, if I measured the knee bends, toe-touching and back bends, I probably had a pretty good workout. I leave for Winnipeg first thing Monday morning, so my time on the beach is growing short. We walked along … Read more

Beautiful trail in Langford

December 13, 2013December 13, 2013 by wpeck

I drove to Langford, just north of Victoria to have some work done to my car, today. Langford is not a place I get along with well, and had I not been so ignorant about the language around “Greater” Victoria, I never would have called this auto service. However, by the time I found out … Read more

A castle, the guv, with a totem pole and a Mountie for good measure.

December 12, 2013December 12, 2013 by wpeck

From two days with no images, to an overload. I went to find a castle today, and came home with the castle, Government house, a totem pole and a Mountie to share. First, the castle. I set off driving to find Craigdarroch Castle today. I assumed that any area that contained a real castle would … Read more

Another nick-of-time day

December 12, 2013December 11, 2013 by wpeck

I was fully prepared to take a truant day. I was working my little heart out all day, and I have an appointment that will cost me tomorrow morning. However, by 11pm, my eyes were crossing, and Kenna needed to at least do her business. So, off we went. We walked to the beach, found … Read more

  • Glenelm, pretty and … unpredicable?
    Glenelm is a tiny area of Winnipeg, wedged between the Red river and Henderson Highway. It's pretty, 1900 to 1950 era homes, mature trees. Very quiet. I love to walk there because it has a small-town feeling. Tonight, I am walking down this pretty street, and I see a man on his porch with a phone. Beautiful evening, a porch type of evening.
