Louella Lester – Seeing and learning while holding camera and pen between me and the world.
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 …

I decided to play around with focus and contrast and exposure with some lilies and daisies. Enjoy! If you go to the Published Writing & Photos page (in the menu above) you can find links to my published writing and photos, as well as information about my book, Glass Bricks (paperback & digital) published by …
Recycling is good for the Earth, but it’s not always pretty or even interesting to look at beside buildings or down back lanes. I decided to play around with it. Enjoy! If you go to the Published Writing & Photos page (in the menu above) you can find links to my published writing and photos, …
As I’ve mentioned before, I like photos of stark and minimalistic type architecture, though that isn’t necessarily where I want to live or work. A few weeks back, I went for a wander down the back lanes near my place and I was excited to see the back of a new apartment building in the …
Is there anyone who doesn’t like to look at water droplets on long grasslike plants? Here are some photos of them for you to enjoy. If you go to the Published Writing & Photos page (in this blog menu) you can find links to my published writing and photos, as well as information about my …
