Happy Birthday Tee Hee
An unanticipated snow fall inspires a walk through downtown in
search of images for my mother who celebrates her 85th year today.
She was born in rural Manitoba and never actually lived in Winnipeg
but retains fond memories of the place.

Underwater
The Assiniboine River spills over its banks as it flows past
The Forks Market where it empties into the larger
Red River (in the background).
What was recently a location for outdoor winter sports and
weekend festivals is now submerged under its fast, murky waters.

Meanwhile, this young adult Ring-billed Gull
has migrated north for the summer and clings to an icy patch
in anticipation of a mate and a season of food scraps.

High Expectations
The Red River is expected to grow in size and strength
for three more weeks but the farming community outside the city
suffers the most in this region of many extremes.

Prairie Butterfly
Returning wildlife of the native habitat show up daily in my backyard.
This is a Milbert's Tortoiseshell butterfly of the brush-footed variety
(Family Nymphalidae) which includes the Monarch.
It is one of many species migrating back to Manitoba including the
Canada Goose and the Ring Billed Gull.
