Blue at Rest

Believe it or not, she was sound asleep when this picture was taken.

Day Lilies

End of the Meal

Took this picture after dinner. It's far from perfect, but I am trying to live up to my pledge to take at least one picture every day.

Blue

Anemones

Pansies

Quack Grass

Prairie Meats

Faithful Companions

Darby and Blue guarding the perimeter.

Sheep Creek

I hate the pun and I hate the idea of rustic decor even more.

Wheelbarrow

So little depends upon
an orange wheelbarrow
as opposed to a red.

Trembling Aspen

Dad planted this tree in the back because he loved the sound the leaves make. I noticed this year that they are red in the spring before turning green.

Responsible Dog Ownership

Cherry Blossoms

Genie

For the past week, in addition to watching the house, I have been keeping this lovely little dog company. Genie is a funny thing. I am really going to miss her.

Evening

It is so peaceful here. I went out with Genie and took a walk around the acreage. The deer were long gone, but I could hear the frogs in the distance. This would be a wonderful place to live and work.

Deer

Earlier this evening I spotted a group of deer outside the window. Click on the picture to get a better view of all six of them.

Acreage

I can't do justice to the light green colour of these fresh leaves. Seeing them flutter in the wind made me think of the poem by Dylan Thomas: The force that through the green fuse drives the flower/

Prairie View

Is there a more typical or pleasing sight on the prairie than a red Massey Ferguson against a blue sky?

Slough

In Saskatchewan, slough refers to a body of water found on a field and it's pronounced 'slew'.

Dance

Poor light and motion made it impossible to take a conventional picture, so I went with the conditions and mixed it up a bit.

Florida Motel

Quintessentially orange

Holiday Necessities

While in Florida, we spent a few days on the beach. The weather, water and view were more than enough, but a few other essentials didn't go amiss.

Monkey Cake

The remains of a very delicious birthday cake

Superstar!

One of my favourite pictures.

Snow

Most of Western Canada was hit by a spring storm overnight. This is what it looked like here this morning.


And this is what it looked like 12 hours earlier.

Sleeping Dogs

A Full Recovery

My camera finally creaked back into life today. To celebrate, I took a few random snaps around the house.
