All photos taken July 31, 2021 on our rural bicycle ride. On our ride, we could not help but notice that the prairie potholes, once so filled with vegetation and birdlife were all drying up. Some were actually totally dry and stinking of rotting vegetation, others were fully covered in green algae. Only the largestContinue reading “Dwindling Resources”
Once again Canadians arrive at the day where we all take stock of our year and lives and expound on what we are thankful for. At the dinner table, this process may become trite or overly emotional, depending on the state of the thankful. At its worst, it is a chore, but at its best,Continue reading “Giving Thanks”

All photos taken on July 28, 2021 from my upstairs window. Wildfire smoke tinged skies and red suns have become the norm these days. While they may seem pretty, devastation lurks. Even the blue jay’s colour seems changed. Red Sun, Blue Jay © Out my window at end of day what a strange show, redContinue reading “Red Sun, Blue Jay”
All photos taken on July 27, 2021, during our walk through Tucker’s Field and Bunchberry Meadows. Fall Colours? © Oh no, this just cannot be, what is it, that I now see? Red, yellow and orange leaves, tall, dry grass ready for sheaves. Thistles grow tall and hairy, bush branches, full of berries. It’s notContinue reading “Fall Colours?”
