Prairie skies

Not too long ago the phrase ‘ Land of the Living Skies’ was added to the license plates in Saskatchewan. At first I didn’t like it because my sister had submitted an entry with ‘Sunny Saskatchewan’ in the contest and I had liked that better.

I found the expression Land of the Living skies very fitting this past week as I got to witness some spectacular sunrises while riding my bike along the river. I didn’t bring my camera until the end of the week because I know my father carries his camera around religiously and I am trying not to act too much like him.

Another scene I saw was the field full of Canadian geese as I biked up towards the University of Saskatchewan. For some reason I found it cheering and comforting to bike past flock of geese, maybe because if they are still there means we’ll be getting a few more days of nice weather.
