The dangers of road tripping on Friday the 13th
Is that you may encounter hazards like this.
This is a real sign in Alberta on Range Road 143 that is here: 53.861175, -112.009857
The large hill just a little north on this road has two hairpin curves. The road is not as steep as depicted. Driving up it was not a problem.

In the Arms of Angels
A small cemetery I visited in the Lac Pelletier area of Saskatchewan late this past winter. It is well cared for and obviously loved.
The footprints at the "Angel" gravesite are from a family member who was just leaving as I arrived. We had a nice chat about life and death and all those things that happen in between.
The deep sea blue of the shadows are so striking at that time of year.

Prairie scene
Not sure if I like this one or not. Tried it several times from several angles and this is the best result.
Trying to do some longer posts. Been a little busy and I need to come up with some material.

Ispas Orthodox Parish Holy Ascension Church
Tiny Orthodox Church located at: 53.889619, -111.837167
Ispas School sits abandoned west of here on the same township road. Just east of here is Ispas Hall.
Bell tower in the background. The grounds are well kept and there are some relatively recent burials. I do not know if the church is still in use.
A close up of a few of the more interesting headstones.

Road trip?
Nothing planned and likely not. I do have something planned for next weekend.
It is 30C right now and gas is $1.389/litre. That makes it perfect weather to sit on a deck this evening and have a beer.
Ispas School 1912 - 1956
Long abandoned school north of Hairy Hill, Alberta. No sign indentifying it. I ran across a local farmer later in the day who said it was Ispas School.

Happy Birthday America!
Saint Margaret's Church had her 110th anniversary last weekend. A special service was held on the Sunday and was attended by 28 people. 4 of those attendants drove up from Montana for the occasion. An American flag was raised at the church to welcome the visitors and to make them feel at home. The flag has been flying high alongside the Canadian flag since that Sunday.
Happy Birthday America!

The Pink Fields
About two weeks ago the pink fields just north of the Cypress Hills were in full bloom along Eagle Butte Road. Pretty!
Since that time it has all been swathed and baled. Looking forward to seeing it again next year.

Date on the vane.

Happy Canada Day!
What better way to celebrate Canada Day than with beavers! This pair lived in Police Point Park over this past winter.
