I stop for solitary trees on the prairies. With the interesting clouds as a background I had to stop to by this tree at the edge of a field. The road leads to Pine Cree Regional Park in southwest Saskatchewan.

A beans a flower, surrounded by prickly leaves. I would have changed to a macro lens for this image, but I expect the bee wouldn't wait around.

A crossing on Swift Current Creek in Pine Cree Regional Park, designed for the small and agile.

The sides of the hills that form Pine Cree Coulee rise steeply, with tree roots exposed in places, such as in this image. I think the network of roots is fascinating.

Clearly, animals, and perhaps some humans, have used this shallow spot on Swift Current Creek to pass from one side to the other. I used a long exposure to try to add some blur to the flowing water.

Trees leaning over Swift Current Creek to form the letter A, in Piece Cree Regional Park. In this image I cropped it as a 6x8.

Another perspective on a tree and a hay bale beside the road leading to Pine Cree Regional Park.

A little bend in Swift Current Creek, with exposed tree roots bu the edge of the water. This image was taken in Pine Cree Regional Park, in southwest Saskatchewan.

Swift Current Creek has its headwaters in the coulee where Pine Cree Regional Park is located. The creek winds through the park, providing many opportunities to photograph it. By the time the creek reaches the city of Swift Current it is much deeper and wider than this, which is easily crossed thanks to a few rocks.

Pine Cree Regional Park is located at the bottom of a deep coulee, which is surrounded by mostly flat crop land, which makes the entry into the park steep and dramatic. The flat lan is mostly treeless, while the coulee bottom is shaded by trees.
