Anyways, the weather was windy and stormy this morning when I left. I put my camera in the car, a habit I am trying to get into. I was glad I did, as the fields of canola are in full bloom and there is nothing quite like seeing the prairie bursting in yellow. I stopped to shoot a little barn that is surrounded by canola. The landowner cleared some old carraganas from the field, but left the barn! I see that a piece of it was removed, but for the barn was left intact. I guess he knew I would be needing a subject!! I have also shot this barn in the winter. Quite a difference when the prairie is full of color.
Cloudy skies this morning...
Coming home late afternoon, the sun was trying to make an appearance..
So, I pulled off the road again to shoot the barn with some different light.
Those are the Handhills in the background.
Don't you just love the wide open spaces !!
No traffic jams, no long lines, just peace and quiet.....
The only thing I dislike about coming home from a day of shopping is unloading the car and putting everything away! I wanted some new summer clothes for work and found some great sales today!! and of course found a few good items at Homesense. After getting home, I went for a good hour walk and think I am ready to call it a day!
Thanks for stopping by the country!

oh my goodness, this makes me miss home. amazing photos! we missed you at the link party this week :) have a blessed sunday!
Gorgeous photos. I went to college at Caronport and learned to love those wide open spaces. Last summer, in Medicine Hat for Colin's funeral, I took a walk along the bluff one evening and could feel the wideness and openness seep into my soul, reminding me of God's vast and unending love.
thanks for linking up! :)
These are beautiful photographs Dawna!
Sure glad you took your camera with you.
Your photos are simply stunning! Glad to hear you enjoyed your shopping trip.
Amazing photos! With a view like that, I would be driving out as much as i can ;-) Or maybe, I will be just by the roadside, admiring the view!
Yellow Birthday
OH WOW! what an awesome place...refreshing!
The sky is huge and the rapeseed (the original word for the made-up "canola") in bloom is stunning!
A LOVER OF YELLOW
A lover of yellow just may,
When given the floor, have her say
About the bright shade
That butters the glade
Like toast on a hot summer’s day!

Hi Dawna, I'm stopping in on a barn charm tour; it's very nice to meet you. your photos are astounding! I love that diamond-shaped window just under the peak. your photographs dazzle! happy Tuesday to you.
Love the barn! The yellow fields of color are amazing!
Wow! That is such a neat barn. The diamond window and the siding are such nice touches. The big field with the gold flowers makes a perfect setting!
What a wonderful barn shot! I expect to see Laura Ingalls Wilder come running across the prairie at any moment. lol
