Spring Clouds

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh.

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky.

I've seen al those castles and faces in the clouds,

My home is the prairie, and I cry out loud.

~David Bouchard

It was certainly 'spring' out on the prairies today.  The sun was warm, the wind cool and the dust was blowing.  The clouds rolled in and out like waves on a sea and for a brief moment they even brought hope of a rain shower!  Alas, the wind blew it away!

I also wanted to mention that Canadian Artist, Gena LaCoste painted a watercolour portrait of 'Olive, the Great Horned Owl!'  Check out Olive's beautiful portrait and check out Gena's amazing work at http://genalacoste.blogspot.ca/ and http://www.genalacoste.com.
