Immense

I enjoy revisiting how immense the prairie sky, the flatland sky, is. There is always something to see, above the skyline and below the skyline.

Serene

Today’s dawn was a marvellously serene prelude to a great day. It’s good to be alive and to experience the turn of the seasons.

Begun

Falls’ palette has begun its artistry. Brushing this bush is only one of many artworks to come.

Await

In the distance, at the far end of a soybean field, peeking out from  one bush and standing in front of another, hay bales await the tractor and trailer.

Old barns

Old barns like this are disappearing in our part of the world. They can be costly to keep up and (I assume) they are not as ‘efficient’ and ‘modern’ as ones with a metal frame and skin.

Yet they are beautiful, evocative of another time, and I sometimes make a point to stop and photograph one, like this one. Then I wonder. Who lived there? What was life like? What successes, failures, did they have? Were they happy or at least content?
