Monday was a holiday and my friends and I had plans to go the beach. Unfortunately, the forecast got progressively worse and worse so we decided to stay in the city. Usually that would be a huge disappointment, but delicious snacks and dutch blitz in the park was a pretty good alternate.

We were in the mood for a picnic, but unfortunately temperatures in Manitoba do not allow for that right now. So we decided to wine (sparkling apple juice) & dine at the plant conservatory instead. It was warm, humid and we were surrounded by lush vegetation - pseudo summer perfection.

We were happily enjoying our tasty little lunch until a security guard told us we had to leave. We'll just have to be more sneaky next time.

*In regards to the link: I'm always unsure about how many photos to add in a collage. Bigger, longer collages offer more information and details, but I'm afraid they might be boring. Smaller, shorter ones provide less information and detail, but are easier to glance at. Do you have a preference? I've been thinking of keeping the collages shorter, but linking each post to a flickr set with more photos. I would love to know what you think.
