Fay's Story ~ Farm Life

Before we made the move out to Saskatchewan we came out to visit my Mom. Knowing how much I love to take pictures she asked a friend of hers who owns a farm if I could come out and take some pictures.
So off we went, it was a lengthy trip from Regina to Fay's farm....OH and did I say HOT!!! Yes it was a very hot day mid to high 30's.
As I walked around her farm my mind wondered to my Mom's story about a tragic accident that happened on Fay's farm. This accident took her husband's life, it was very very tragic and traumatizing to her and her family. So much so that Fay's farm is up for sale. I wanted to try and capture some of the simplicity and beauty of her farm to honor the land for what they loved about it. Not for the sad memories that now come from the land for her. Here are some lovely shots of Fay's beautiful farm and in memory of her loving husband.

Bath Hour!!! Activities At The Local Pond

Yesterday was a beautiful day lots of sunshine. Today of course it absolutely poring rain outside so this gave me the perfect opportunity to put in some quality editing time....lots of work this editing but I must say rewarding all at the same time. Here are some cute shots of some of our local birds enjoying the sunny day and having a lovely bath. I enjoyed watching them it was quite relaxing and I could help but smile.

Images of Pond Life....The dry bed hidden path

Morning everyone...today my focus is about ponds. In these three shots I have tried to capture what ponds really provide for all wild life. Ducks, bugs, plants, frogs and all that require water to survive. In the two shots below you can see the lush environment and the lovely contrasts that each plant provide for the environment. But in this picture you can see that with alot of drought which we have had here in Victoria ...we are already on water restrictions. We haven't had a good rain fall ...or substantial one for over a month. Usually this bed has running water that trickles down it from one pond to the other. But now that it's dry look at what is happening..new life it taking control of this newly transformed path...simply lovely.
