Winter Sun Video
The good light suddenly started to fade as the sun ducked behind cloud cover. “I guess that’s it,” I said to myself as I walked back to my pickup. I started to drive home when, out of habit, I glanced up at the sky to see if there was a chance that the sun would reemerge soon. When I saw the perfect circle of the sun filtered through the winter clouds, I quickly pulled over and started shooting.

Situated along a busy highway, this abandoned Manitoba farmhouse bears witness to the families who lived in it and worked hard to earn a living from the land.

This picture remind me to people who play a similar role in communities and organizations. Through their work and dedication they keep things going, even when others may come and go as their interests ebb and flow.

Video: Back Roading After Supper
As a fellow classic truck enthusiast, I could appreciate the moment they were enjoying - taking their classic Power Wagon out for a drive after supper. I’ve gone for many similar drives with my classic GMC, so I felt like I could read their minds.

Tree and Angry Sky
One of the things I love about photography is the need to creatively adapt to changing conditions. So, I shifted my vision from “golden hour” to “thunder storm” and started to look at how the storm clouds and rain changed the prairie landscape.
Purple Flowers and Bees
I spotted these purple flowers growing in the ditch on one of my afternoon “photography drives”.
306 Sunset Tree II
In order to avoid rewriting my August 21 post, I’ll just say that this photograph was taken a few minutes after 306 Sunset Tree. The sun moves quickly when it is low in the sky. I had just enough time to photograph 306 Sunset Tree and hustle a few hundred feed down the road to capture this photograph.
306 Sunset Tree
Which one do you like better? For most, I suspect that the dramatic sunset colours will be the deciding factor. For a minority (myself included), the black and white version will be the most interesting. I enjoy the drama and the rich lines/textures emphasized in the black and white representation. Let me know in the comments which you prefer and, if you have a moment, why you prefer it.
Thistle Fantasy
The “move close” rule helped me to find the world of exploding Canada Thistle seeds represented in Thistle Fantasy.
