Looking out of the open air train car, we saw fields of yellow rapeseed which will be turned into canola oil. Did you know Canada is the world second largest producer of rapeseed?

We also saw fields of beautiful green winter wheat.

We rode the train today and were robbed by a gang of outlaws! Luckily, Gabriel Dumont happened to be on board and saved us and shot the bandits! It was quite the experience!

Walking up Nose Hill (isn't that a great name). It is just a few minutes from our house. It was a beautiful summer day. We even saw some deer.

I have no computer, but I have a camera. For the next month, all of my photos will be SOOC (straight out of camera). Guess we will see just how good (or not) I am at getting a correct exposure in camera. No editing to fix my mistakes.

Here we go again ... I am having computer issues.

Sorry for the delay in posting.

These are Rosetta Spoonbill fledglings. They are quite rare. It was quite exciting to see them.

After we lit off our small batch of fireworks, we walked out to the barn to see if we could see any of the fireworks that we could definitely hear. Since I had my tripod with me, we did some "ghost" pictures.
