Rural Graffiti


I see this old wooden grain bin every time I drive to Calgary.  I've seen it in the dead of winter, in the fall and spring but seeing it in the summer with a stand of canola surrounding it certainly makes 'certain artwork/names' pop!  Hence, a quick snapshot through the car window as I drove by!  I've always chuckled at rural graffiti!  Chances are the names belong to the kids at the local school and the grad class marked their year! Do they think nobody will know 'who dun it?'  LOL!

I'm off for a couple of days ... heading home to take in and celebrate the Medicine Hat Exhibition and Stampede's 125th Anniversary!  I'll return on Friday with my camera in tow!  Enjoy the next couple of days!  Cheers!

The Sea of Yellow Has Returned!

CANOLA!  








The summer sun and heat have arrived on the prairies and across this wonderful landscape is a sea of yellow!  Here in Central Alberta, the Canola fields are coming into full bloom and the vibrant yellow set against that prairie blue sky definitely makes one take a second look!  Do you remember our field of canola that was 'obliterated' by rain and hail just a month ago (See 'Down for the Count' in June)?  Well ... Canola is an amazing plant!  I took these photos in that same field.  Yes, it did rebound!
