A Chilly Morning At The Assiniboine Park Gardens

I spent a chilly morning walking around the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden and the English Garden at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg as part of my little excursion to the prairie province. This was in mid-May and the temperature for the morning was around 6-8 degrees Celsius, so nothing outside was in full bloom. Regardless, I saw a number of people getting their steps in on their morning walks so that was nice.

The Leaf Conservatory Is An Impressive Structure

Continuing my morning excursion to Assiniboine Park, I spent some time at The Leaf Conservatory, which is one of the major attractions at the park. Before I go inside, I want to talk about the structure of the conservatory itself. It has this tent structure that looks like it is a big white flower in the park. Along with the Human Rights Museum, The Leaf Conservatory is one of the most impressive-looking buildings I have seen in Winnipeg, and maybe all of Canada.

Braving The Cold Of Lake Winnipeg (Gimli/Winnipeg Beach)

One of the things I wanted to do while in Manitoba was to take a drive up to Lake Winnipeg and see the sights. I rented a car for the day and set off on my journey to the lake and to the town of Gimli.

Capilano Suspension Bridge: Vancouver’s High-Priced Attraction

I did a tourist thing while I was in Vancouver, and that is to go check out the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This was something I always seen people check out whenever they were in Vancouver for the first time, and so I wanted to check it out as well, at a great cost to my wallet. We went right when the park opened, so the attraction was not busy at all, which was fantastic.

Secord Forest Media Gallery

On a random Sunday not too long ago, I went for a walk in Secord Forest, which is just south of Goodwood, Ontario. I went for this walk for two reasons. The first reason is that because I am working from home on a semi-permanent basis, I need to find the time to be more active. The second reason is that I want to enjoy the nature around me as much as possible before the weather gets colder.

Evergreen Brick Works Media Gallery + New Phone!

On one random Saturday, I went to the Evergreen Brick Works in Toronto to walk around and take in some nature within the city. Before I go any further, I want to tell you all that I have a new phone now, and I have been using it for the last couple of months. I am now the owner of a OnePlus 8 Pro, which replaced my previous OnePlus 5T. I like the idea of having flagship-level performance at a lower cost than high-end Samsung and Apple phones. This means that this will be the first post where I will be posting pictures and video from the new OnePlus 8 Pro camera. With all that said, I may go into an in-depth review of my new phone in the near future.

Allan Gardens Conservatory Media Gallery

On one random day that I had a day off work, I ventured into Downtown Toronto to take care of some errands. While wasting time between these errands, I went to the Allan Gardens Conservatory (160 Gerrard Street East, Toronto) to look at some exotic plants inside of a warm greenhouse on a chilly winter day. I needed a distraction from the current pressures in my life. In addition, entry to this conservatory is free, so why would I not want to go.
