Leross
Creuant la regió de Saskatchewan.
Leross is a small village located in east-central Saskatchewan, Canada, within the Rural Municipality of Kellross No. 247.
Location and History: Like many prairie communities, Leross was established in the early 20th century with the arrival of the Canadian National Railway in 1908, serving as a service hub for the pioneer farmers in the area.
Population: It is one of the smallest communities in the province. According to the 2021 Census, its population was only 40 residents.
Economy: The main economic activity surrounding Leross is grain farming (agriculture).
Heritage: Despite its small size, Leross has a strong sense of local history. One of its key attractions is the Kellross Heritage Museum (also known as Leross Heritage Park), which features historical structures like an old schoolhouse and a rural municipal office, preserving the memory of the settlement era.

Some roads don’t have a destination. They just remind you that the journey was always the point.

Off to advanced training she goes! A photo of our (temporary) dog at Burnaby Mountain Park near Vancouver, BC, Canada
About this photo: This is a photo of our 19 month old (temporary) Labrador Retriever that we raised since she was 2 months old when we decided to become puppy raisers for the BC & Alberta Guide Dogs. It has been quite an amazing journey and challenging at times. But, I am happy to report that she was chosen to move on to advanced training. Once she passes that we hope she will be able to make a difference in someone's life!
She left us last week for her new adventure to become a PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) service dog. Apparently she did really well during the flight from Vancouver to Edmonton, she got to meet and play with another PTSD service dog and some other dogs. It sounds like she is already settling in her new environment.
I am happy to hear that she is adapting well, even if we are sad that she is no longer with us. I will get monthly reports while she is in advanced training which will take about 4 to 5 months. After that will she be placed with someone and they will continue training together for some time as well. I sure look forward to the first report!
This photo was taken on the last day she was with us. We gave her some extra cuddles and treats on that day. We sure miss her a lot, she was such a sweet and gentle dog!

On our drive back from our mini vacation in Manitoba, we happened to have a beautiful sunset on our way home.
I loved the sky and how beautiful a sunset can be on the prairies and wanted to capture that beauty.
I underexposed the image to get all the detail in the sky and I felt the darkness of the foreground added a lot to the image.
Plenty more to come.
As always, Thanks for viewing and comments are always welcome.

This one wasn’t planned. No pulling over, no setting up, no waiting it out. Just a moment from a moving vehicle that didn’t give me time to think twice.
I almost didn’t take it.
But that’s the thing, some scenes don’t wait for you to be ready. You either notice them or you don’t.
There’s a quiet out here that feels different. Fields at rest, old structures still standing, and the mountains holding steady in the distance. It’s not loud, it doesn’t demand attention, but if you slow down enough, it stays with you.
Taken through the window, in motion, exactly as it was.
Sometimes that’s enough.

Crowfoot Mountain
The mountain stands at an elevation of 3,055m and is a striking feature of the craggy mountainscape around Bow Lake.
Bow Lake is approximately 30 minutes north of Lake Louise, off the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) in the Canadian Rockies and a half-mile north of the Crowfoot Glacier. Sitting at an elevation of 1,920 m (6,300 ft), it is one of the largest lakes in Banff National Park.
Crowfoot Mountain gets its name from the Crowfoot Glacier, so-named as a result of its distinctive lower part, once etched in the shape of a crow's foot.
Just as the sun dipped behind the hills, Lundbreck Falls gave me this moment — bold, moody, and powerful. The stillness of the snow clinging to the rock contrasted beautifully with the unstoppable movement of the water. A subtle glow lit the clouds, giving the whole scene a cinematic weight.
There’s a feeling here — like nature pausing mid-breath. The bridge in the distance, the storm-rolled sky, the ice beginning to melt… it all felt suspended.
Shot handheld in natural light. The goal was to balance motion with texture, holding onto the shadows without crushing the flow of the water.

Happy Mother’s Day to all my friends and family, and to the dads out there doing double duty too
Hope you all had a good one. This is how I spent mine, out on the back roads in my happy place.
Le Canadien, CANADÀ 2024
Creuant la regió de Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan is one of the Prairie provinces in Western Canada, famous for its central role in the country's agriculture and its stunning, vast open skies.
Nicknames: It is often referred to as "The Breadbasket of Canada" and the "Land of Living Skies."
Geography: It is the only Canadian province with no natural boundaries (all borders are artificial lines). The southern third is dominated by vast prairies and grain fields (especially wheat and lentils), while the north is mostly covered in boreal forest and contains an estimated 100,000 lakes.
Economy: The economy rests on two main pillars:
Agriculture: A world leader in the export of wheat (durum), lentils, and peas.
Natural Resources: It is the world's largest producer and exporter of potash (a key fertilizer) and a significant producer of uranium, oil, and natural gas.
Main Cities: Regina is the provincial capital, while Saskatoon is the largest city and the primary economic hub.
Last summer I took a trip out to Alberta with my daughter, and one of the highlights of the entire trip was visiting the Columbia Icefields.
Instead of doing the main tour, we tried something called the Ice Odyssey Experience. It’s a smaller, more exclusive tour with only about eight people, and they take you to a completely different part of the glacier than the big buses go to.
Standing out there on the ice was incredible. Huge open views in every direction, deep blue meltwater streams running across the glacier, and the constant sounds of ice cracking and rocks shifting around you.
It’s one of those places where you end up putting the camera down for a while just to take it all in. The air is unbelievably fresh, the water coming off the glacier is ice cold and drinkable, and the whole experience feels pretty surreal.
Definitely one of the most memorable things I did anywhere in the Canadian Rockies.
Lake Annette - Jasper National Park - Alberta, Canada
The stars reflect their brilliance off of Lake Annette in Jasper National Park. This photo is a bit of a preview for a post next week that will be debuting over on the Travel Alberta page.
I just launched a new website, please swing by and check it out! www.jackfusco.com
Stopped in at Lundbreck Falls and caught it in one of those in-between moments.
Winter holding on, water pushing through, everything feeling a little heavier than usual.
The kind of place that doesn’t need perfect conditions to feel like something. Especially after that freak winter to spring storm we just had a few days ago. Everything felt louder, wilder… and the falls just kept doing what they do.

It doesn't seem to matter how many images I see others take, or how many times I visit this spot myself, Mount Rundle and Vermillion Lakes is one of my favourite places to shoot.

is a mountain located within Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, approximately halfway between Banff and Lake Louise. It is the easternmost mountain of the Main Ranges in the Bow Valley and sits astride the Castle Mountain Fault which has thrust older sedimentary and metamorphic rocks forming the upper part of the mountain over the younger rocks forming its base. The mountain's castellated, or castle-like, appearance is a result of erosive processes acting at different rates on the peak's alternating layers of softer shale and harder limestone, dolomite and quartzite.
