Farm Dogs near Kahwin

A couple of farm dogs I've encountered on several occasions in the Kahwin area of Alberta.  Always happy to reconnect with canine friends...they really are something special. 

Glad they're still doing well, happy and healthy, out enjoying the scenery and doing dog stuff.  Just the way it should be.

Plymouth Truck

This antique Plymouth truck sits behind the old church in Flora, North Dakota.  I think it dates from the late-thirties or early-forties.  Handsome design never the less.  

Imagine picking up your first date in this beauty.

Old Church in Flora

An attractive, weathered old church in Flora, North Dakota. 

 

The quickest route to Flora from my home is nine hundred and ninety-nine kilometres.  But since I like to take the scenic route is was more like thirteen hundred plus kilometres.  Definitely worth the drive.

Emmanuel Anglican Church

A beautifully designed church in Holland, Manitoba.

It was built during 1893/94 with the spire being added in 1898.

I didn't see the interior first-hand but according to the Manitoba Historical Archives there are several plaques inside to commemorate local parishioners who served in a military capacity during World War I as well as Reverend Waddington Clarke who was a pastor around the turn of the century. 

It is now known as Holland Emmanuel Historical Church.
