Beaudry Provincial Park


Beaudry Provincial Park is located 10 km west of Winnipeg on PR 241.  We drive out Roblin Boulevard, through Headingly, and   The wooded areas are dominated by bur oak, green ash, Manitoba maple, American elm and willows.  There are also some sspectacular, large basswoods and cottonwoods.


But, it's the grassy areas and their trails that we (and our dogs) like the most.  After walking down a short wooded trail, you reach one of the grassy fields.


The trails through the fields are mowed regularly, making walking easy for all of us.  The dogs, of course, often leave the trails to investigate new scents.


We're very fortunate to have a park like this so close to our home in Charleswood.  Not only is it a great place to take our mutts for a walk, it provides all sorts of opportunities for photography.  At this time of year, with fall approaching, it may appear a little drab overall.  But, when you look closer, there are some neat plants to photograph.  Maybe, just a thistle, gone to seed.


Or, maybe a wild flower.  If you're lucky, maybe the wild flower will have some insects on it.


Happiness is ...
