All three photos posted this morning were taken yesterday afternoon, 19 February 2016, when I took a drive SE of the city to a different area. The reason I wanted to do this 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 have done a search on Google for some information on it, but so far have come up with nothing. However, I left a couple of messages on Facebook last night and received an immediate response. Hopefully, I'll be able to phone the lady early next week and will add any information I'm given, here.
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.
The sun was shining early on, but more and more clouds gradually moved in, making quite a beautiful sight over the distant mountains. Couldn’t resist taking a few photos.
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.
