Clouds and mustard

Mustard fields aplenty in southern Saskatchewan. I miss the big blue sky.

More from the races...

Burning rubber. Yes, I found the proof as fine rubber dust all over my flesh. But I'd go back.

Happy Hula Hoopers!

I shot this down at the Harbourfront on Saturday. Someone posted a sign that read: Today is national hula hoop day. There were hoops everywhere for the taking. I tried my hips at it too (no I am not in this photo) I think I may have found my new favourite sport though.

Btw, if anyone knows who organized this event, please let me know. I'd like to get my hands on one of these "professional" hoops.

Sky over Woodrow, SK

Anyone who has been to Saskatchewan knows that the limitless sky is one of its most envied features. The grain elevators in the distance mark Woodrow, once a small farmers' town.

Graeme Patterson (my talented brother-in-law) has created an art installation based on this town. The exhibit is currently on display in Montreal, part of the Montreal Biennale.

On the Boardwalk

I shot this image on a beautiful day in April, on Toronto's lakefront boardwalk. It was taken with my Tamron lens, which I have now put out of commission in favour of my new Sony Zeiss lens. The focus is a little fuzzy but I like the way the colours pop.

Stock Car Racing

On our second night in Saskatoon, we got out to see some stock car racing. Here's a shot to prove that #36 took this race.

Pelican landing

While in Saskatoon, I haven't had a chance to keep this updated daily. I have however, taken a lot of photos. Here is a Pelican landing in the South Saskatchewan river that winds through Saskatoon. Here the birds hang out around the weir.

Stay tuned for photos from stock car racing and soon to come, from the farm.
