Western Images Page
It’s done. I created a Western Images page. To this page I will add photos from rodeos, barrel racing and other photos that reflect the name of the page. When photos are added I will post here and say what event they were taken at. The photos just added were taken at the Top Line Rodeo, held July 18 & 19 2020 at Clearview Arena. This was the first rodeo in the Qu’Appelle Valley Open Rodeo Series 2020. I hope you enjoy this new page. You can find it listed under Gallery. Comment s are welcome.

PWP Week of June 21, 2020
Happy Sunday! My week went fast, how was yours. This week we have some action shots. Flying ducks and bees; running coyote and deer. My assistant the Trail camera caught some great ones of the deer that live in our pasture. We are pretty dry here and a caught Quill having a dust bath. Think he was trying to impress the ladies. One evening we had an unwanted guest on our front lawn. This shot was taken thru the window as I wasn’t going outside. Went on a road trip but the only shots I have from it are the ones of the mule deer doe in action. The driver didn’t see the photo opportunities I did and wasn’t inclined to stop. I counted about ten shots that would have fit in here. Oh well. Hope you enjoy these. I’m hoping to spend some time in Studio 13 being creative this week.
Come back next week and see what manifested.

PWP Week of June 7 2020
Not much photography wise is happening as of yet. No events, concerts, horses chasing barrels. I’ve pretty much been staying close to home. However, the camera isn’t gathering dust. It comes with us when The Boy and I go for walks or drives. I’ve decided to do a week by week pictorial story of our adventures. Each day brings something new. If it doesn’t there is still the usual – horses, flowers, birds. Please join me as we travel thru the week of June 7. Today starts a new pictorial log. I hope you come back next week to find out what we saw.

2020 Sleigh Ride
New Years Day I spent out in the fresh air, not at a table loaded with food. That came later, two hours later. Friends gathered for a sleigh ride. Five teams loaded with people with plastic vehicles being pulled behind. I thought they were for the little people in the group but throughout the ride I saw a number of big people enjoying the fun. Once we were back in the yard, everyone gathered in the house for stories, laughter and a super potluck supper. If you went home hungry, that was your own fault. New Years Day 2020 saw a lot of people going home fun, happy and probably a bit tired. Please enjoy the photos from the day. The last three photos were taken from inside the caboose. Sorry there is no potluck supper at the conclusion!

Canadian Western Agribition 2019
After a couple years of not attending, I went to the Canadian Western Agribition to photography the horse pulls. These gentle giants put on a good show. The weight divisions were light weight, middle weight and heavy weight. I am posting a sampling of the shots I took. If you are interest in seeing more visit the gallery on the club’s website.

Monday’s work
I was working on another project and found these photos in Google Photos and thought I’d see if I could share them here. When the photo appears you view the rest by clicking on the arrows on the right and left. These shots are from 2015. Enjoy.

2014 A New Year
Although the month is almost over — Happy New Year. Up to now it has been quite a challenging month. Cold, snow and wind. As I write this we are experiencing wind gusting up to 80km. Not a day for a kite! However, if you can find a spot out of the wind, it isn’t to bad a day. Our horses have done that and I was able to take a few shots of them enjoying the day. Later we fed them in the same spot. You can see the snow blowing in some of the photos and the seem to be ever-present these day – the Sun Dogs!!!!!
I’m hoping to be posting more photos this year. In 2013 I was at a kite festival; went to the Big Muddy in Southwest Saskatchewan; took a road trip thru the US to Seattle and up the west coast then home. Plus interesting things that caught my attention around home. So, check back often.

Where is the Sun?
We’ve had cold weather, we’ve had snow, we’ve had wind. Now this morning we have fog. As thick as soup. With fog comes frost and sometime some great photos. I was out this morning with the camera. Check out the Gallery – A frost morning and see a bit of what I saw.

Seeing the Month Out
It’s been a fridgid last few days. Hard on human and animals. Our animals has there feed increase and didn’t seem to mind the cold. They can always get out of the wind. Here is a shot of my little Arabian. I think he was wishing he was in the land of sand and sun, as God meant him to be. Not standing in a cold pasture in the middle of Saskatchewan. Better days ahead Ninja!
