A Walk from the past - October 2016

Memories of walks from the past October 2, 2016 (or at least that's when I took them off my camera)... I never shared these before (I checked).
Same old landmarks of the park, but different moods, different moments...

Given a Canadian, prairie province winter not sure how much longer I'll be doing this until spring... we've had a bit of a respite after a very early winter!

November 13, 2017

For lack of anything better to post today..


Some trees in my front yard today... midmorning not quite as lovely as first thing. 


Happy it is only minus 3 C today! Relief from the brutal cold we had too early.

Snow is coming down.....

No walk around Wascana Lake today - too icy & slippery.  I did, however, drive to a couple of my favourite locations to see the snow.  Soon it will be just too brutally cold to do so.
See you in the spring Wascana!

Royal Saskatchewan Museum

Since the wind was so bad and since we were in the park and since we weren't committed to walking all around the park and since none of us had been to it for years, we decided to pop into the Royal Saskatchewan Museum.


I love that museum!  I will take any out of province visitor that comes to it.  Most people have a preconceived idea of what Saskatchewan - a prairie province - looks like.  Usually they think of grain fields, flat terrain and big skies.  All true but our province has so much more!


The museum has diaramas of all the different areas of Saskatchewan, including its wildlife.
I love the quality of the exhibitions, particularly how they have blurred the lines between the painted backgrounds and the 3-D displays (taxidermy).  (NOTE:  No beast or bird or fish was killed on purpose for these displays... from road kill or deaths from animal/bird sanctuaries etc.)


Here is a sample of some of them. (Click on them to bring them full screen!)

And in the spirit of Hallowe'en...
