Photo update


I haven't been keeping up with my posts, but I swear that it isn't Saskatchewan's fault.
Getting back on track can be a challenge, so I'm going to ease into it with a photo blog.
I took that picture from my back deck-for-one. I wasn't trying to take a silhouette photo, but I did by accident. I just emailed my college prof to ask how to replicate this because Saskatchewan gives good sky.


The best dressed team—or "Wolf Pack" as they tell it—at the golf tournament held recently at Carelton Trails. I wish I could claim that they are all strangers, but that would be a lie.

I recently learned at Elkhorn's Antique Auto Museum that the original dodges have the Star of David on it. The museum curator told me rumor had it that the Dodge brothers were Jewish, and that they changed the symbol because people didn't want to buy Jewish cars. In reality, the logo wasn't a sign of Judaism but two interlocking triangles believed to represent Delta's —the Greek letter for D. And the brothers were Methodists. They did, however, moved away from the six point star in 1939 when they were trying to export trucks to Europe.
This dodge I came across in Maryfield isn't quite that old, but it has seen better days.


This tree grows on the side of highway eight, which takes me north to Allison's. After I snapped this photo I was reminded of a tree that used to grow outside my mom's house at the corner of Lincoln and Isabella Street. A tree that at one time was a very good friend of mine—one I used to plant Cheetos under convinced that I could will a Cheeto tree to grow.
