Red Barn



A freshly painted red barn near Southfork, Saskatchewan.


It's an old barn but very well kept...has a new black metal roof with white trim too.

Over the years I'll bet a lot of cats have caught even more mice up in that hayloft.

Abandoned Homestead near Redfield





An abandoned homestead northeast of The Battlefords.

The old homesteads in this area don't seem to have that remote and isolated feeling that generally accompany those in the far southern part of the province...it always feels homey and comfortable when I travel through here.  Maybe it's just my overactive imagination.

Green Prairie School Sign




A sign marking the location of a pioneer school in Vulcan County, Alberta.


It's protected with a large tractor tire.




Big prairie landscape with a great view.  This is a very isolated area now...must have been even more remote back in 1917.

Breakfast Time





Bison are fascinating creatures.  From the safety of my car I watched them have their breakfast.


Time for a nap.


This one must be enjoying the view.

White-tailed Jackrabbit



A white-tailed jackrabbit that greeted me at the hotel in Regina, Saskatchewan.  They usually move too fast to get a decent photo but this one didn't mind posing for a few.
