Manitoba’s 2nd biggest waterfall

Golden Sky in Manitoba

Many years ago, I was lucky enough to to be offered a "fly-out" trip to Kasmere Lake, from Nueltin Lake, in northern Manitoba. These were the days before a lodge was built on the lake and our "accommodation" for the trip was a long abandoned hunter's cabin. There's something special about waking to a wilderness sunrise and knowing that you and your companions are the only people there.

This was a bird I hoped we would get to see and photograph while in Manitoba. One evening we were driving along a dirt road and a bird flew across the road right in front of us nearly at eye level. I said to David who was driving that I thought that was a Black-billed Cuckoo. We pulled over and got out and sure enough heard one calling. It was perched close to the road for this shot, socked in some dense vegetation. We had a small opening in the vegetation to get this shot.

Manitoba is so darn flat!

I took quite a few photos of this place last summer & was back at it again this year :-)

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment and fave my photos...

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 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!

Abandoned homestead near Rathwell, Manitoba. I saw this shot while cruising on the highway. On a whim I pulled out my fisheye and tripod, walked out into the field and was pleased with the results. Hope you enjoy!
