Pysanka

The big, beautiful, revolving Pysanka in Vegreville, Alberta.   

Photographed this morning, June 26, 2025.  A lovely way to start the day.

Saint Asaph's near Bangor

A look inside Saint Asaph's Anglican Church...

The church was established in 1905 by Welsh settlers.

To quote a plaque in the nearby Llewelyn Cemetery:

"To be born Welsh is to be born privileged, not with a silver spoon in your mouth, but with poetry in your blood and music in your soul."

Love and appreciation with heart and soul.

The church hasn't been used in years but is still in reasonably good condition.  That new metal roof should keep it safe for many years to come.

This is the trail that leads from the cemetery to the church.

And this is the sign just off the main road.

An Afternoon in Daisy's Yard

Daisy was good company while I was weeding under the lilacs this afternoon.  

When it's time for a drink I pour bottled water into the cup of my hand and she laps it up until the bottle is empty.  She's a thirsty girl on warm days.

This Morning at Saint Margaret's

Tiny cathedral out in the hills.

Everything is lush and green this spring...

...and the lilacs are coming into full bloom.

The columbarium tucked away in the southwest corner of the grounds.

Peaked roof in front of a peaked hill.

Heather's Garden...new plants and field stone border.

Sage keeps his vigil under the limbs of a spruce tree.

More lilacs blooming.

The view across the coulee.

If and when you're in the area, stop in for a visit.
