Hard to believe that this was WINTER! What a wonderfully mild winter we had, 2015/2016. Though this photo was taken on 19 February 2016, many of the fields outside Calgary were completely bare, while others still had snow cover.
I came across this beautiful old barn on 19th February, when I was exploring some backroads SE of Calgary. I think I first saw this barn in March 2014 and it was immediately one of my favourites, but I hadn't been able to find it again. Unfortunately, it is way across a huge field on private land, so I had to zoom right in from the road.
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 was the Davisburg Community Church, SE of Calgary.
From this location, I drove further SE 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 the only birds 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.
