Frost: A Boxing Day Photo Blog
Posted on December 26, 2022 5 Comments
I posted this for the first time in December of 2019. Pearson School is long gone now and it’s interesting to look back at what has changed and what remains the same. This older post makes me want to don my snowshoes and go exploring! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas day. ❄☃️❄ The […]
Buzzing Mountain Ash Trees
Posted on June 4, 2021 4 Comments
The mountain ash trees in our front yard are blooming and the blossoms fill the air with thick perfume, and every evening there’s a layer of yellow pollen on our patio table’s glass! There are so many bees pollinating the blossoms out front that the trees were humming last night. I took a few 10-second […]
Frost: A Boxing Day Photo Blog

The other day I took my camera out and photographed the old Pearson School (1920-1946) while family was visiting. We were taking them on a tour of some of the landmarks. Our guests seemed a bit underwhelmed by what passes for site seeing around here, but I really enjoyed it! It wasn’t as frosty today, […]
On the Lake

Today it’s 5 degrees Celsius with a wind that cuts right through you. Last time I drove by the little lake we canoe on, it was still covered with ice. Maybe the ice and snow have receded a bit since from the lake’s grassy banks, but that’s about it. Listen to me read this post: […]
Autumn Views

Recently when I posted a photo of our early-September snowfall, friends on social media asked me, “What happened to fall, Lori?” Sometimes we get fall here in my neck of the woods and sometimes we don’t. It sure feels like it’s gonna be an early winter this year, so fall will be brief. Here is […]
When You Go Home

When I go home I’m lucky to be able to visit a place that hasn’t changed significantly since my childhood. Until recently, that same house even contained my grandparents’ wood burning stove from their homestead. The stove dated back to probably the mid-1940s and when all that heat from over all those years finally […]
Summer Gardens – A Photo Blogpost
Posted on July 3, 2018 4 Comments
What a glorious time of year! Over time I’ve gathered some flower and garden pictures from my travels and from right here at home. Even the simplest prairie gardens are enchanted plots teeming with life in this northern place where the growing season is so short. These first three photos were taken in northern Alberta […]
Springtime in Alberta

It’s springtime in my neck of the woods. The water is running in the rivers and the frogs are croaking. The willows that border the sloughs are getting ready to leaf out. We had the chance to visit Banff, Alberta this April. I’ve been to Banff several times but never during this month. […]
