Downtown Regina

I have always been a Saskatchewan Roughriders fan. They even have donuts at Tim Horton's that have green and white sprinkles on them so you can support the local team.

Dinner at The Willow on Wascana

The restaurant is above the boathouse and looks out over Wascana Lake. Beautiful spot in the heart of downtown.

At the EcoCentre - Craik SK

These are almost life size metal sculptures. The EcoCentre promotes Environmentally Sustainable Living in the province.

Saskatchewan

Big Sky Country.... wait a minute, that is Montana. Saskatchewan is 'Land of the Living Skies'. You can see for miles on the Prairies and it makes for wonderful sunsets (and sunrises).
This one is for Jenny. Wonder about the history of this place..........

Room with a view - Regina SK

This view is from my hotel room in the Regina Inn on the 11th floor. We are in Saskatchewan to show some people our technology and plant in Craik SK. We are here Monday thru Wednesday and the weather is supposed to be as you see it - warm (believe me on that) and SUNNY! Apparently it is raining in Victoria.

Saturday morning walk - from the Blue Bridge

Just a few pictures from this mornings walk down to the Sour Pickle Cafe for breakfast. The weather today was wonderful. Bright and sunny and quite warm. We did a bit more fall pruning and cut and trimmed the lawn. It was supposed to be rainy all day.

Debra's earrings

She took this antique picture frame and made a display "case" for her earrings. She never ceases to amaze me with her creative, unique, innovative thinking.

Rice Mill Landing

Debra and I walked downtown for breakfast at the Sour Pickle Cafe again. Afterwards, while Debra was in Valu Village, I wandered into the breezeway between two buildings which date back to 1891 and used to be a rice mill. They now house Ocean River Sports (since 1981) and Capital Iron (since the '50's). These shots are from down on the water behind the buildings.

Gorge Waterway Cleanup

On our way back from breakfast, we were walking over the Selkirk Trestle and noticed the scuba divers participating the the Gorge Waterway Cleanup. They had a great turnout and are hoping to restore the Gorge to its former days where open swimming and diving could be done without the risk of polluted waters.
