Around the middle of June, my sister and I needed to go to Winnipeg. Once we had done what was needed, we turned the rest of the day into a fun outing.
It was close enough to my birthday to celebrate as we have for the last several years. No gifts, but rather going out for a special ice-cream treat. This year it was at the Bridge Drive In in Winnipeg.BDI has been in business since 1957, and I now know why. The ice-cream was delicious and very large. No, no pictures of the delicious treat, but after the ice-cream was consumed, we needed to go for a walk.
The Red River is still very high this year, but it sure made for some pretty scenes.
This is the bridge which spans the river. At one point this was used for vehicles, but is now strictly a pedestrian bridge.
From here we headed to the Assiniboine Park and the English Gardens.
The ornamental crab apple trees were in full bloom and so beautiful.
In another part of the gardens I found these pretty Bleeding Hearts putting on a lovely show.
Always be prepared for the unexpected. Four White Pelicans came silently soaring over the park. I was only able to get a good shot of one, but it is so pretty against that blue sky.
Something To Think About:
If you can retreat to a serene spot in nature—wonderful! If that’s not possible, retreat with Jesus wherever you can. He will meet you there.
