The River Valley



Some shots of the Saskatchewan River Valley just north of an acreage where I've been gardening for the past thirty years.  The property is seven acres and shaped much like a bow tie. At the wide south end is the township road, at the knot is the house and at the even wider north end is the river valley.




I always enjoy going out to do this or that during the growing season.  This year the focus was on planting a raspberry patch, sour cherries and Saskatoon bushes as well as the usual gardening maintenance.  Aside from the gardening aspect, I really love the view of the river valley from the back yard.  Nice place to spend some time simply enjoying nature.



A few of the tough little flowers that make their home on the dry buttes in the river valley.


The red spot in the centre of the photo is a deposit of red shale.



Little has physically changed in the valley over the years.  I take that as a good sign.
