Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day marks the end of World War One on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918.

The War Memorial Cenotaph shown here in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan was built during 1925-26 and memorializes all those who gave their lives in the Great War.  At that time a scroll listing the six hundred names of those who enlisted from the town and area was placed inside an empty cavity within the monument.  The cenotaph now also acknowledges those who served in World War II and the Korean War.

Long Shot (Saint Margaret's near Eagle Butte)

Was out at Saint Margaret's to plant some fall bulbs in Heather's Garden about three weeks ago.  When finished I decided to head over to Elkwater for a late lunch and captured this shot of the tiny cathedral in the beautiful Cypress Hills of Alberta along the way.

Have a nice weekend!

The Biggest of Them All

I believe this is the largest bowstring bridge ever constructed in all of Saskatchewan...and what a treat to see it still standing proud out in the prairie landscape.

Day of the Dead

A time to celebrate all those who have gone before us.  Enjoy the ghosts.  I'm sure your favourite passed relative would love having tea with you...cookies or cake... maybe a beer.  It's all good.

The Alberta Pacific Grain Co Ltd

It's been more than a few years since I've been through Dorothy, Alberta.  At the time, the grain elevator was in pretty sad condition... 

...but now it has a fresh coat of paint and a new roof.  "Thank you" to all those who gave this prairie sentinel a new lease on life.  In other words, thanks to those who give a damn!

Out for the Day with Daisy

Out for a ride around town with Daisy a couple of days ago.  

She's looking great for 14+ years old, don't you think?

Miss Jessie Rowe

"Remember me as you pass by,

As you are now, so once was I,

As I am now, so you must be,

Prepare for death and follow me."

She succumbed to tuberculosis when just a teenager.
