Occasionally taking the wrong road bears fruit. This magical, mystical, snowy, old barn was mesmerizing. Not even sure where it was - somewhere in Southern Manitoba!

Again today it was -19C feels like -28C out there. I ran out and took a whole three photos of frozen bubbles before giving it up and coming in.
Prior to that though, I again noticed our Manitoba Maple Tree had a flock of visitors to partake in the scrumptious maple keys for breakfast before flying off down the road. As it was too darn cold I again grabbed the camera and shot these through the bathroom window glass. This is SOC no edits other than resized for the web. The sky is really that gorgeous deep blue which just goes to show once again how darn cold it is.
I want to thank each and everyone for your comments and visits to my little space here on Flickr. Although, I may not get to respond to all the comments left, rest assured, I read them and appreciate them all more than you know however, awards and invites aren't necessary.
I came across this bull on my annual trip to Manitoba Canada. There’s nothing more Canadian than a huge bull moose, well perhaps a goose.
As devoted grandparents, we sometimes leave the house at silly o'clock to watch our youngest grandson play indoor soccer. This was one of those mornings - a two hour plus drive for two Tristan goals and a 5-3 win. No editing here...
I spotted this tree across the field, and decided it would work well as a point of interest. The bird, fortunately decided to fly up as I touched my shutter.
I got eaten by many mosquitos to get this shot blue hour shot of Paint Lake near Thompson, Manitoba, and in Northern Manitoba in the summer, they get quite hungry at dusk. The rain was really coming down at this point.
I know I haven't posted in a long time; I don't know how the summer got away from me.
Back in July I did a one-week trip to Manitoba in the Canadian Prairies to continue working on my grain elevator series. Most of the time, the conditions were hard, photographically - long, blue sky days - but one day there was this dramatic storm which I chased on my own. Luckily I didn't get into any trouble, though there was a moment when I got caught in a spot I shouldn't have been with lightning popping off all around me.
The light at the end of the road is obviously an approaching car. As he passed me, he honked and I choose to think that he was applauding my chutzpah, rather than saying, "Get off the road, you idiot, don't you see there is lightning all around and you're standing there with a tripod!!". : )
This is the first of my Manitoba image but, unfortunately, the last of my storm chasing images. I'm pretty sure, though, that I'll be chasing again next year!
I find myself longing for cooler weather and a sense of peace in a world that is coming unraveled. There is nothing on this earth more peaceful than a bear hug and I couldn't have more respect for any other animal in the world than I do for a mother polar bear.
