▶︎ I could barely expose my fingers long enough to take this photo on a very cold afternoon nearing sunset on a frigid January day in Saskatoon. The ice crystals floating up from the South Saskatchewan river look like steam or mist but it is just too cold for that.

River paddle
Description
▶︎ We are bringing in the Meewasin clipper canoes on a breathtaking fall day. No hint of wind, so the water reflects the clouds and sky perfectly. A wonderful day on the river.

Seeing red
Description
▶︎ Flashes of colour are rare in the prairie winter landscape. Amidst the brown and white of winter, a solitary, red rose-hip is visible in the grass, the whole scene accented with hoar frost.

Road trip
Description
▶︎ Our experience of landscapes is shaped by our point of view. The view from my window in the van as we road-tripped across the prairies was endless field upon field of yellow canola. Striking, bright and never ending.
