I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards.
- Abraham Lincoln



On May 18, I took a trip to McBeth Park. I think this is the prettiest walk I've seen in Winnipeg. (Not just in the past month, but in the entire time I've lived here.) It's a short walk. Part of it goes through the yard of McBeth House, then down along the Red River, then a very short part through some residential area. (I think this area is called River Bend?)

It was the absolute perfect thing to do on May 18. I had a lot of news to process. There was a park-bench overlooking some natural grassland. It wasn't an entirely warm day, but this area was surrounded by trees, and the shining sun felt fantastic on my face.

Interestingly, there was an abandoned house complete with grafiti. It was surprising to me, that no one had scooped up the house with such an awesome location. I'm sure there's more story to it being vacant. But what fun is there in knowing the real story when you can make up your own!


I couldn't settle on one picture for this location. Of the pictures displayed, one is of a tree that would have covered the walking path had it not been saw-ed. (Sawed. Is that a word?!?) The diameter of the tree hit my shoulder! Another is close to the meadow where I sat and basked in the sun. The third is my

fav flower. :)

I can't resist smelling the lilacs!
