Think I'll Go Out to Alberta

If you've ever been to Alberta, you'll recognize this scene...cold, blustery winds, white outs threatening, and  fields that roll on to forever.

Things are changing so quickly in the southern prairies, settler's original log dwellings are  being taken back by the land, relentless in its pursuit of memories.

The Rockies beckon, a frozen promise...

Mountains that command respect with the simple act of being.

and Gray Jays wing through winter charming the frost away.

While the golden poppies are waiting, on the shores of Lake Louise.

And now for today's headlines...

Today's front page of Canada's largest newspaper,the Globe & Mail had an article about Charges of criminal negligence being laid against Ontario's former Attorney General.
The Montreal Gazette featured an article stating that Actress Kate Blanchett is "fine" after hitting her head on a prop while filming in Montreal yesterday.
The Vancouver Sun had an article about Seal Pulls Girl into Water at the West Vancouver Marina (!).
On the opposite end of the country, the Halifax Chronicle Herald said that Halifax Shipyard Lands $194 million Contract. And on the prairies, the Calgary Herald says that El Nino to Deliver Forgiving Canadian Winter. All pretty interesting, important articles of information that may impact the lives of Canadians.
And here at home, The Pembroke Daily Observer in Pembroke featured a 10" x 8" photo of me standing in front of sign, and welcoming fiddlers and step dancers to the 34th Annual Fiddle Week. Now THAT'S news! Rosin up your bows and dust off yer dancin' shoes!
