Morning light inside the little stone church...a heavenly sight.

Green Meadow S.D. No. 423
A marker for Green Meadow School.
This sign is a two-for-one with the older enameled sign mounted on the lower portion of a newer black metal one.
A smaller wooden sign on steel posts accompanies the larger. No idea whether this one pre- or post-dates the above but I think it's a charmer.
Photographed near Wimmer, Saskatchewan on a stormy January 19, 2021.

Thirteen
Saw this little guy/girl at the Old Stone Church near Abernathy, Saskatchewan.
This is a thirteen-lined ground squirrel native to the area.
Pretty curious to see what I'm up to...instinct working overtime. Be wary of humans.

Early in the Morning
The colours in Noël's garden at about 5:30 in the morning...my favourite time of day at this time of the year.

Flintoft S.D. No. 4783
The sign above the door of Flintoft School...
...a pioneer schoolhouse near Wood Mountain, Saskatchewan.
Looks like someone tried to make it a home not so long ago.

Velvet
A buck with velvet covered antlers.
Once he decided I wasn't a threat he proceeded to nap in the shade of the lilacs for a good hour. Good for him and good for me.

Katherine and Michael
A ceramic photo that definitely captures a happy moment in time for the Werbeski's.

Bethlehem Lutheran Church
The remains of a stone church near Markinch, Saskatchewan.
At the time I didn't notice but one of the tree branches follows the gable end roof line. It had been a long day and must have been in auto-pilot mode.
Not many country churches face eastwards as this one does.
It took a lot of manpower...
...and horsepower to hoist these stones.
Another auto-pilot moment...the curved branch seems to be cradling the round window on the west wall.
A more extensive collection of photos of the church including the cemetery taken fourteen months previous can be seen here:
