All Saint's near Crocus

All Saint's Anglican Church and Cemetery is near Crocus, Manitoba. 

The church opened on August 10, 1884 and was regularly used for the next seventy years.  After the church was deconsecrated in the mid-1990's, a non-profit organization completely renovated the building...and what a fine job they did.  It would be a nice place for a summer wedding.

Black & White

This big guy gets to spend his summers in the pasture just across the road from Saint Margaret's Church in the Cypress Hills.  He looks pretty tough but is actually very shy...he's needs his space.

Quite an unusual design for a weathervane.

Saskatchewan Mental Hospital Cemetery

Have stopped here several times over the years.  

It was a long time coming but was pleased to see the powers that be finally erected a sign at the cemetery in 2019.

A line of trees splits the cemetery into north and south sections.  Many of the gravesites remain unmarked.  

Everyone should be remembered.

Winter at the Witch House

It's been beastly hot down here in southeastern Alberta so I think it's time to cool things off with some wintery shots of the witch house.

That feels much better.

Hello?

Not everyone has their very own phone booth.  This one stands just across the driveway from the Pelepiuk farm sign.

This is the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception in Cooks Creek, Manitoba...

In a word, spectacular!
