Bale challenge. It is bale season, send me your bale photos. 

Trying to get out and enjoy summer

Weird summer in my corner of the world so far. Numerous rainy days and some storms with thunder and lightning. When summer does make an appearance it is glorious.

I just need some time to get out and about to enjoy the sun.

A barn for Friday

Fedorah

North of Edmonton, just west of Bon Accord, north on Lily Lake Road (also known as Range Road 235) you will find a little place named Fedorah. On one side of the paved road is two churches and opposite one church is the old Fedorah School. Opposite the other church is an old hall. This is all that is left of what once was here.

Ukrainian Catholic Church.

Two churches on the same side of the road, looking north along Lily Lake Road.

An International Event

On my trip to Eastend, Saskatchewan a few weeks ago I came across these abandoned International Harvester trucks and tractor.

I stopped at a farm about a mile down the road to see if it was all right to walk in to take some photos. Lucky for me the farmer owned the land and said to "go for it!"

It was a half-mile trek up to the site but I think it was worth it. There had been lots of rain so the crops and prairie were green and lush, the sky was brilliant blue.

Most of the other abandoned machinery was made by Cockshutt Farm Equipment.

An old I.H. stepside.

Bang!

Seems like most of the old farm trucks I come across were either green or red and white.

One last shot and back to the car.

It was a beautiful day in southwestern Saskatchewan.
