ParkOvergrowingFourHouses
No. 3644 - 07 Jun 2011 - 20:36:28This park and the four houses on its eastern side were the first subjects of an iPhoto Bookmark project begun five years ago. ParkOnFourHouses is due a retrospective look and perhaps indicates a return to an early interest in the small architecture of Vancouver's historic east side.

Flood Plain
No. 2548 - 31 May 2011 - 14:02:17The Assiniboine lurks in the background, behind the trees, but the water in the foreground is the breach. Pounding rain and gale force winds were blowing in Brandon today but the saturated earth of southern Manitoba can no longer absorb additional moisture. Fields are filled with water, the rivers and lakes sport white caps and family homes and farms are at risk of ruin. The flood plain is like a giant, water-logged sponge and the water has no where to go.
Although I left the province today my thoughts remain with the brave and hopeful Manitobans who may not reasonably see the end of this mess for many months.

Tiger Dam With Lawn Ornament
No. 2154 - 29 May 2011 - 16:44:05A planned trip to the family ranch at Cayer, Manitoba is adjusted due to flooding around Lake Manitoba. But cousins in Toutes Aide, at Lake Manipogo just down the road, are busy with related flooding and the damage is overwhelming their summer cabin.

It's all fun and games until the kids find out there will be no summer holidays at the cabin this year.

Common Grackle
No. 9838 - 07 May 2011 - 18:35:13This "Bronzed Grackle" of the common variety is widespread east of the Rockies which is why it is uncommon to me. I am mesmerized by its white-yellow eyes and purple-blue head feathers. It was in the back yard making a racket and stirring up dead leaves
when I took this picture.
All behaviours are interesting during mating season.

Sky Over Trees
No. 8962 - 25 Apr 2011 - 12:20:47The famous Siberian Elms of Winnipeg are about to burst into leaf.
These trees have tall, twisted skeletons that throw
dramatic shade onto the winter landscape
and create bountiful greenery in the summer
while withstanding significant extremes in climate.

Happy Birthday Tee Hee
No. 8563 - 16 Apr 2011 - 08:40:12An unanticipated snow fall inspires a walk through downtown in
search of images for my mother who celebrates her 85th year today.
She was born in rural Manitoba and never actually lived in Winnipeg
but retains fond memories of the place.

Underwater
No. 8172 - 13 Apr 2011 - 08:38:25The Assiniboine River spills over its banks as it flows past
The Forks Market where it empties into the larger
Red River (in the background).
What was recently a location for outdoor winter sports and
weekend festivals is now submerged under its fast, murky waters.

Meanwhile, this young adult Ring-billed Gull
has migrated north for the summer and clings to an icy patch
in anticipation of a mate and a season of food scraps.

High Expectations
No. 8007 - 12 Apr 2011 - 13:41:10
The Red River is expected to grow in size and strength
for three more weeks but the farming community outside the city
suffers the most in this region of many extremes.
