"Hi! Wanna Play!?"

Spontaneous fun in the Saskatchewan countryside.

Recently while driving along a country road I noticed a Black Lab puppy playing in the snow-filled ditch.  As soon as I stopped and opened the door she bounced over like puppies do and quickly gained my full attention.  I got out of the car and she gave me that look:  "Wanna play!?"  A loud hand clap had her running around with her tail wagging at full speed.  She...we were having a good time.  She wasn't much interested in me trying to get photos but I did get these two when she settled down for a few seconds...then she was off on another dash through the ditch and back to to the car for a head scratch and a pet.  She's a sweetie!

Holy Trinity Anglican Church

A country church and cemetery near Paradise Valley, Alberta.

The interior looks original to when the church was built in 1911.

One last look at Holy Trinity Anglican Church and Golden Valley Cemetery and then on my way.

Lincoln Valley

Lincoln Valley Township School is near Fortuna, North Dakota.

Schools in North Dakota were often named after the township where the school was located.  This one is only about ten miles south of the Canada/U.S.A. border and it's a beauty.

Belated Happy Anniversary

This is Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Two Hills, Alberta.  Back in 1988...

...Ukrainian Orthodox churches had their one thousandth anniversary.  That's a very long time.
