May I remind you that all the pictures in this series are taken from slide scans,
many of which were taken many years ago.
Today I start with a picture of our Agriculture Research Center located in Morden.
Many roses have been developed here ,as well as other crops.
The next two pictures are a tribute to Jake's Dad,he pains takingly built these replicas
of the school house and teachers home in his district.
This school was operational until just a few years ago.
Our son had his first 6 years of education here.
You will notice here the two out houses,yes these were common fare in years gone by.By the time our son attended here,they had indoor plumbing.
This plane and the car which follows were built by Jake,from kits.
I had to add a few fall scenes,because of the time of year.
The following three pictures show the huge flocks of geese passing through during migration.
Take a good look at this one.
The following are all real planes.

The following three pictures show the huge flocks of geese passing through during migration.I have to say that I have not seen them in such numbers in along time.
In looking at these pictures,I think they were probably taken in spring.
Take a good look at this one.The B-52 is a massive plane and a pleasure to watch in flight.
This one never has flown,it is another model which Jake built.
A little creative photoshoping,took out the wires on which it was suspended.
The following are all real planes.Because I would probably give them the wrong names,just enjoy the show.
We have spent many hours at air shows and therefore have many photos of the planes.
Canada Geese need no explanation.
The Western Meadowlark in that perfect light.
A bull Moose at sunset.
A playful Cottontail Rabbit on our yard.
When we lived out in the country the rabbits had become very tame.
I hope you have enjoyed this set of pictures.

The Western Meadowlark in that perfect light.
A bull Moose at sunset.This was taken several miles west of Morden.
We used to see Moose there all the time,but they seem to have disappeared.
A playful Cottontail Rabbit on our yard.
When we lived out in the country the rabbits had become very tame.If we called them they would come out of the bushes looking for carrots.
Yes,these were wild Cottontails.
In fall when I had a pail of carrots standing on the steps
the rabbit would come and help himself.
I kind of miss those times.
I hope you have enjoyed this set of pictures.Value the beauty of the changing seasons.
