Barn near Surprise

A barn near Surprise, Saskatchewan.





Just as I was about to leave an owl appeared in the hayloft door.  I'll bet there's a nest with owlets somewhere inside.  Mama owl picked a nice spot to raise her babies.

United Church


The United Church in Garland, Manitoba.  It was built in 1916 and originally named Saint John’s Ruthenian Presbyterian Church.  

The Presbyterian Church of Canada assumed the role of converting Ukrainian pioneers to the Presbyterian faith.  I think the fact that so many Ukrainian Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox Churches far outnumber United churches tells the story.  

In 1925 the Presbyterian Church joined the new United Church of Canada.

Foggy Morning

Sunrise accompanied by fog. 
 

Fog is not something you see every day here in southeastern Alberta and these are not the colours one usually associates with a foggy morning...much like a real-live sepia tone.

Something I've come to appreciate over the years is that from where I live in town I can be out in the country in about five minutes.  Everyone should have that luxury.
