A few random photos taken on the trip to Sacramento earlier this month. Saskatchewan perspective. |
 Winter-bleached stubble near Elrose, SK.  Montana.  The Donner Pass is never to be trifled with.  Somewhere in Northern Nevada. |

Great photos, Kate! (Love prairie colours and BIG skies!)
I’m disturbed by what’s happening at Fox News. I’m guessing that James Murdoch is eager to put the older news anchors out to pasture, by hook or by crook; he’s a ‘National Geographic’ fan and appears to want Fox News to attract the preferred demographic (24 to 54 years in age). James and Lachlan, sons of Rupert, are 44 and 45. MSNBC and CNN are chomping at the bit, hoping that with O’Reilly gone, Fox will slip in the cable news ratings.
Where are the dog win pictures? Love your dogs!
Looks just like New Jersey! lol
(Mostly) good travelling weather, and it’s good to have you back. 🙂
These great pictures give me the driving itch. There is so much beautiful country to see. No wonder some truck drivers talk about the beauty of being on the road.
Good to have you back Kate.
chutzpahticular, I agree. There is a concerted effort by someone to take down all FoxNews conservatives. Hannity talked about it last evening and has hired a law group to fight the attack on him.
You must have captured the only two stretches of Saskatchewan highways not marked with potholes and little red diamonds on the shoulder
Thanks for the flatlander snapshots.
God, I love the Prairies! Most people from away don’t get it and it is impossible to explain. Been on the plains for over 50 years and I enjoy going to the mountains and travelling but the openness of the great plains is refreshing.

In January, there was a “wall to wall” Chinook Arch in SW Alberta. This is a 10-shot pano stitched in Photoshop.

Just BTW, that Chinook pano covers about 180° .. the fence posts on the left and right are the same fence…right looking north and the left to the south.
Hey, that’s the old dollar bill.
Beautiful photos ! There’s something special about the stark beauty of blue skies over the golden waves of grain (or cut stubble). The huge variety of blue hues swirling over a golden field washes over my eyes and fills me with … LIFE. The image feels like “life” to me … the blue skies of our beautiful planet giving life to the grain that feeds us. It’s a real restful, and calming image … the vastness of it all, expresses the infinite expanse of God’s creation.
Having just returned from Lake Tahoe and witnessed 10ft drifts of snow in late April … your Donner Pass photo is replicated ALL around Tahoe. There is simply a MASSIVE amount of snow on the ground. There are still 10ft drifts around the lake on Hwy 89. … which is stunning because the shear size of Lake Tahoe acts as a temperature moderator in the Tahoe basin. Rarely does this much snow FALL and then persist at lake level. It almost feels as though we are seeing the FIRST effects of an emerging ICE AGE. Sorry, Gov. Moonbeam … driving my black BMW 335i … speeding past Kate’s minivan on Hwy 80 … isn’t causing “global warming” … and doesn’t need to be taxed. Nature and (REAL) science … MOCKS Gov. Brown.
Glad you had a good trip! Next time drop us a note and we’ll treat you to some local hospitality (and vino/beer–road trips can be dehydrating) 🙂
I miss those skies and open spaces I was born and raised in. My wife is from BC but likes the praries (she lived outside Calgary as a kid for a few years). So we are saving every penny to get back to the praries. The way this world is going it smart to get out of the cities and into the country and raise strong families again. I can’t wait to live in Saskatchewan again.
“I can’t wait to live in Saskatchewan again.”
Why would you want to move here. Our mean and villainous premier just finished pulling the plug on a government owned bus company that hasn’t shown a profit since 1979. Such callous disregard for useless Saskatchewan institutions is unconscionable.
