Abandoned Barn

Big hay loft in this attractive old barn near Galahad, Alberta.  

Big hay loft means lots of room to store hay for feeding cattle in wintertime...and also a great place for mama cats to have their kittens.

Spotted in Jasper, Alberta

I took a day trip to Jasper yesterday because I wanted to get out and enjoy summer. Weather was perfect. It was sad to see all the damage Jasper suffered from the wildfire last year. It remains one of my favourite places.

I missed this . . .

Anyone who has a passing interest in this blog knows I spent a good chunk of last year in the hospital. I missed the spring and summer. I was released in the fall and got to see nature start to surrender to winter. Not that I minded. I got to live another day.

This year I am appreciating ever more the greenery and the colours of summer. It was almost taken from me last year, I came too damn close to dying. I am trying to squeeze in what I can now, maybe I am trying to do too much before I am able. 

In the last few days fields of yellow have started to make their presence known. I missed this most of all in the summer months last year.
