Manitoba wild flowers

It's a wonderful thing living in the wild. Yes there are bugs, but those bugs feed a plethora of other critters that I would not care to be without either. Bring the bug juice and come marvel at Mother Nature's beauty.




I've been trying to find time to get out between cutting the grass and the rain storms to take some images of the field across the road from us. It's spectacular in it's wild flower display. I hear there is a tour coming through this weekend, but I'm not sure if it's a local entrepreneur or a visit from the Manitoba Orchid society. It wouldn't be the first time the M.O.S. was out to enjoy the display.











There was a decently hot fire through this field earlier in the spring and thus it's been spurred to life in ways that only fire can provoke. One of the local elders stopped by yesterday (Big Bill) to re-live some of the memories of how this land has changed and what it was like when he was a kid. We sat in his truck gazing over the flower filled field and enjoyed the sun, silence and extraordinary air. Rare treats of extraordinary quality.
