She's Still a Sweetie

Stopped to take some photos of an old schoolhouse but as soon as I stepped out of the car this border collie from the farm across the road came over to greet me.  She was quite shy at first but we soon enjoyed some cuddles and pets.

It may be hard to tell from the photo but somehow her right eye had been hurt in the past and she's most likely lost sight in it.  The good news is that she seems to have adapted quite well, and best of all, she's still a sweetie.  

When I was ready to leave she went back to the farmyard and laid down beside the swing set where the farm kids were playing.  A wave goodbye and I was back on the road.

Lunner Norwegian Church

Some photos from a summer road trip through south and central Saskatchewan a few years ago.  

I stopped at Lunner Norwegian Church and Cemetery in the early afternoon on the second day of the trip and was instantly captivated: historic, rustic and charming...can't beat that!  I hope the photos capture the essence of my visit.

The church will celebrate its centennial this year.

Something that rarely happens but was certainly appreciated...each and every day of my week-long trek was filled with blue skies and green grass which in turn encouraged an overall carefree and light heartedness to the journey.  Easily one of the best road trips ever.
