We just returned from a road trip through Saskatchewan. Hubby and I are both from that beautiful province and we still have family there.
I simply love taking this road trip in the summer. Especially in August when the sun is hot, the sky is blue and the fields are starting to ripen.
I can’t begin to describe the light – it is hazy, soft, and it spreads right through my soul, stirring up memories like birds in the sky.
When travellers pass through across our great plain,
They all view our home, they all say the same:
“It’s simple and flat!” They’ve not learned to see,
The particular beauty that’s now part of me.

Wow, that first shot is terrific. Love the light you captured off the wings.

wonderful photos, but the birds are my favorite!
lovely fields! i like the tractor scenes in the window of that old schoolhouse, too. :)
Love the light shining through the birds’ feathers!
An amazing photo and texture work. I like all your Summertime pictures. They are beautiful !
My husband loves Saskatchewan, probably the flatness and the fact you can see for miles and miles. Love the first photo today.
Brilliant first photo.
So lovely. There’s nothing more beautiful than the prairies…

So So beautiful Barb i love the open spaces wish I could visit….
Oh your plains reminds me of the land here in Illinois. Something peaceful and calming about the land. Beautiful captures and I love the picture of the birds flying over-head. I had chills!!
oh i would love to go there!
love the bird pic;)
The golden fields shot is amazing. You really get a sense of the expanse of land here. Not that I didn’t enjoy the other shots, but this one really grabbed me. :)
Great photo, because it was taken against the sun.
Saskatchewan is one of only 3 provinces I have yet to visit. It is on my to do list Barb ~ someday ~ someway!
I love seeing the fields of grain. The scenery reminds me a bit of North Dakota, where my dad is from :)
Beautiful images!
I love the picture you took of the birds!
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Oh they’re all so lovely, but the birds shot is just incredible! And such lovely texture work, too!
Lovely series of images. The first shot is my favorite. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by my blog.
Fantastic shots! I’m living in Regina, Saskatchewan so I know this scenery well. What part of Saskatchewan is your family from?
