Louella Lester – Seeing and learning while holding camera and pen between me and the world.
The Midtown Bridge, often called the Donald Bridge, spans the Assiniboine River, but at its north end, coming into downtown, you can look below to see Assiniboine Ave. In December, we walked over the bridge one evening, and I took some photos, of course. Some of them are shake-the-camera abstracts and some are not. Enjoy! …

We had lots of snow in Winnipeg in December. I threw a bunch of stuff in a bag and went outside. I stuck the stuff in different piles of fresh snow. Here are the results. Enjoy! If you go to the Published Writing & Photos page (in the menu above) you can find links to …
A friend and I wandered about just before Christmas and I took lots of photos I don’t use a fancy camera because I prefer to just focus on what my eye sees. Sometimes I like to shake the little camera to make abstract shots. And I find it especially interesting to do when I’m outside …
😊 Who doesn’t like fresh fluffy snow? 😊 So, here you go. 😊 Enjoy!

As you know, I like wandering down back lanes because backyards and the back of buildings give you a whole different feel for a neighbourhood. They're much more interesting. Much less groomed. On this breezy day, I enjoyed the pieces of cloth flying on the lines. Enjoy! If you go to the Published Writing & …
When I cut through the Manitoba Legislative Building grounds, to walk into downtown Winnipeg, I see lots of geese. Also lots of goose poop on the sidewalks. It seems like there are more and more of them, not just on the grounds, but along nearby streets, at almost any time of the year. I took …
I walk around and ride my bike, a lot, because I got rid of my car in 2017. I never miss owning a vehicle or the big expense that involves. I now save a lot of money, and help out the environment, as a member of Peg City Car Co-op, a car sharing cooperative here …
In the last week of August, I enjoyed visiting The Leaf, in Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park, to see tropical rainforest and mediterranean flowers/plants, but I’ve always loved architecture, so the design of the building itself interested me, as well. The Leaf is like a huge greenhouse with many interesting lines and angles. So, I took a …
This post is full of flowers that live at The Leaf, in Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park. Some of these flowers are fluffy or puffy, as though they suddenly appeared, poof! Others aren’t puffy or fluffy, but look like they may have suddenly come out in bunches overnight, poof! Enjoy! If you go to the Published Writing …
At the very end of the summer some friends and I went to The Leaf, which has replaced the old conservatory in Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park. There is a Tropical Rainforest biome, a Mediterranean biome, a butterfly garden, etc. We were there on a day when it was cooler and there was cloud cover, so the …
