    1. Deb, the canola fields are certainly iconic. My favourite are the blue flax fields, but there are fewer of them and the bloom time is short. It is particularly pretty to find a flax and canola field in bloom beside each other.

  1. So much open space! My favorite shot is the one showing the road ahead. There’s a little mystery in wondering what you’ll see st the top of that hilll.

    1. Ken, the mystery of what’s up ahead, over the hill or around the bend is a big part of the pleasure of a road trip.

    1. Thanks Anita. The prairie scenery is sometimes dismissed as flat and boring, but I think it can be quite beautiful.

  2. What an enjoyable tour of a bit of Canada–we were on a road trip from east to west at the same time!

    1. Jeri, it would be interesting to know its history. I find myself drawn to old weathered (and almost falling down) buildings. Maybe it’s because they hint at so much history.

    1. Thanks Agness. There were quite a few yellow canola fields on this trip, so we didn’t need to stop to enjoy – we kept passing more.
