The difference 10 days make
At the Saskatoon Farm
Beyond repair
Yesterday's absolute treat - the size of your fist…
American Tree Sparrow / Spizelloides arborea
In winter time
Lest we forget
Couple of Coots / Fulica americana
Old house on the prairie
Shadows
A beauty of a barn
A winter scene at the reservoir
One of a pair
Lost, in Weaselhead
Common Redpolls / Acanthis flammea
Morning sun over Pine Coulee Reservoir
Spider walking on snow
Old weathered shed
Distant ice patterns on the reservoir
Barn Owl
Weathered wood
Start of the storm
The old, white house
Licking salt from the road
The red barn
The joys of an old farmyard
Dragonfly - Black Meadowhawk?
Old barns in late afternoon sun
Sweet White-tailed doe
Snow-capped berries
The ever-friendly Black-capped Chickadee
Hello, winter
The return of the ice pillars
And down(y) he flew
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
Pontiac and Massey Harris, rusting side by side
Storm clouds near the city
In fairly good condition
Learning from Mom
Rufous-vented chachalaca, Blue Waters Inn, Tobago
Kinetic sculptures by Katie Ohe, KOAC
Lichens on nature trail at KOAC
Fragile and leaning
Goodbye fall, hello winter!
Final resting place

September flowers


On 8 September 2017, I decided on the spur of the moment, to drive south to the Saskatoon Farm. I wasn't sure what I would be doing that weekend and wanted to make sure I went there to buy a few of their vegetables and fruit. I knew that a weekend would be a much busier time. I also wanted to photograph a few of their beautiful Artichoke flowers before they were all past their prime.
All the flowers were very popular with the bees, which was so good to see.
As usual, I wandered round the grounds with my camera, catching one of the cats, one of the dogs, and a few of the chickens, as well as flowers. I never return home with an empty memory card when I visit this place.
Unfortunately, it was a smoky day (what's new?) with the air quality rating an unpleasant High Risk level. In fact, I almost turned back before I was half way there.
This interesting place is maybe a 25-minute drive SE from the southern edge of Calgary. You can collect your own Saskatoon berries and other fruit in season, look around their outside green houses, and their inside gift shop full of unusual things, and buy special baking, jams, teas and so on. They also have a restaurant that offers great food.
