Davisburg Community Church, Alberta
A fine old barn
Remembering a cold, frosty bird count
A cluster of red barns
Just a splash of colour
Farmyard scene on the prairie
Davisburg Community Church, Alberta
One of my favourite barns
From days gone by
A life left behind
Built with love
Blackie Grain Terminal, Alberta
Fence post with a difference
Passing the time
The return of the Swans
Bubbles at Frank Lake
Ice patterns
Mural in Blackie, Alberta
Looking across Frank Lake
Tangled
Northern Shrike / Lanius excubitor
Weathered and patched
Into the sun at Frank Lake
Old barn in winter
A tree full of Tree Swallows
Caution - deep water
Western Meadowlark
Cinnamon Teal pair
One of a crowd
Black-necked Stilt
Roof shingles galore
Gathering of the masses
A Tree Swallow's iridescence
Fancy silo with stairs
Davisburg Community Church, Alberta
When the clouds roll in
A friendly greeting
Aging gracefully
Little country church
'Superman, where are you now?'
The cross and the moon
Time for an old barn again
One of my favourite birds to photograph
Beware those icy fingers
Home of the Snowshoe Hare
Reflection through the fog
Little red barn on the prairie
Ice is nice
With a view of the mountains and the prairies
Long-billed ice bird
Christmas is a fun time for a kitten
Old homestead and barn
Textures of an old homestead
Tea, anyone?
A favourite little country church
The only one
A frosty prairie view
Old-aged matching colours
One of 9 Great Horned Owls
Through the frost to the bird blind
New roof and a fresh coat of paint
A foggy, frosty sunrise
A frosty view from Frank Lake blind
So far away, but better than nothing
Frosted Cattails

Old barn with a different style

Hard to believe that this is WINTER! Some fields outside the city are completely bare of snow; others still look pretty white.
I came across this old, wooden barn on 19th February 2016, when I was exploring some new backroads SE of Calgary. The reason I wanted to make this drive was that friend Phil S. had posted a few photos of a beautiful little white country church; one that I hadn’t seen before. He told me where to find it and this was enough motivation for me to drive some roads that were new to me. Thanks so much, Phil! The church is the Davisburg Community Church, SE of Calgary. I could find nothing online about this church, but then Phil sent me the link to a wedding that was held there, showing the inside and outside.

The church and small cemetery are fenced off, though I did notice one small section of fence along the road had been destroyed – hopefully not by photographers wanting to get a different angle! There is also a No Trespassing sign there. I was able to get two or three angles from the ditch along the road.
From this location, I drove SE towards the Blackie area and covered some of the same roads and backroads that I drove on 15 February. It turned out to be more of a barn day than a birding trip, as all I saw were several Pigeons and a number of Magpies. I really wasn’t looking for birds, though, as my attention was on the road and which direction I was going, trying not to get lost.
The sun was shining early on, but more and more clouds gradually moved in, making quite a beautiful sight over the distant mountains.
After a while, I realized that I could perhaps just make it as far as the Saskatoon Farm in time to order a home-made pizza to take home with me. However, when I got there, I was told that they had stopped making these several months ago. Instead, I decided to stay and have a meal there - quiche and sweet potato fries. Made a very pleasant ending to an enjoyable afternoon.
