22 Omand's Lake?

Omand's Creek valley is flooded and the bridge completely submersed. The creek is running wide and fast, but the flooding is caused by the overflowing waters of the Assininboine River which in turn is backed up by the flood waters of the Red River a few kilometres downstream.

The multi-wheeled bike sculpture adorning the roof of the home of Art City. It does double time as their logo. Our kids love this place. We love it. They have great workshops, great volunteers and guest artists and they feed great meals to the kids. I can't rave about this place enough.

Quick snap of a limestone Ionic column capital resting in Mostyn Place Park. The park hosts several salvaged shards of shattered column from the sixth Winnipeg Post Office built in 1906 and demolished in 1962.

The very next day it snowed. And it snowed all day. Our cats got out the door, hit the sidewalk and promptly did a 180 and came back to the porch were they took refuge for most of the afternoon.

We were walking along Westminster when we came along our friend's van in need of a push through the intersection and just a hair past the bus stop. (It had run out of gas.) The Shoe Doctor was there for the save.

IF: Parade




Entry for IF's theme of Parade. Just under the wire but here it is. My first entry in months. I screwed up a bit. I was working under the impression that the theme was Hierarchy, hence the chess pieces, which was last week's theme. But with a bit of change I've made it work with the actual theme: Parade.

IF: Fierce 2

A second submission for fierce. The original illustration was drawn for my niece's soccer team Burlington 'The Mad Dogs'. Nothing's more fierce than 9 and 10 year old girls. I went with pink to match their soccer uniforms.
