Stunning work and the first look told me it was an image then read your narrative! Pretty impressive and the colors are so true and realistic looking down to the sky and the water. Love the story and the addition of your special Sincerity Dawn Ward to the image with her rescuer as well! Wish I had a 6 star for you!

LOL. Opposition parties are ganging up on current govt. of MB to force some payout for damages in 2011. Looking for ways to embarass them into paying up I guess. They know I want to stop the flooding at it's source where it is best for the environment rather than downstream where some megaproject doesn't work. So I get dragged into the fray now and again. I just love my swamps where my fav critters live and hate to see them drained. They hold back water but farmers hate them. Will mail about books later today or tomorrow when the heat dies down. Liberals had some big meeting in Brandon last night so I expect some calls today again. Sigh ...

I see the empty promises from last spring are taking hold now that the problem is not crucial! Buggers! Draining swamp land just causes other ecological problems such as the diminishing water fowl and amphibians, but mostly the leopard frog. Kind of sucks that the government who sit on their duffs figure they can control nature while destroying it as well for the sake of appeasing themselves and getting the framers off their backs. They need to learn that Manitoba has a great deal of swamp land and has been there way before the farmers. The farmers have to realize the problem and adjust, and stop going to meetings and come up with a solution with the government. Seems the government looks for the easiest way out and infringes on everyone by diverting the waters and causing more problems! Give them Hell and hopefully a logical solution will be the outcome as the money situation!!
Fighting with the municipality right now about posting deer crossing signs on hwy.#8 by our home. At least 6 deer hit in the last few weeks. A herd crossed twice a day from one brush area to the other behind our house. The highways is getting involved now as well. They seem to think it will not help. Told them I will post my own signs. He laughed! I wasn't kidding! Getting on my nerves that the city slickers who move out here think there is nothing but them on the road! Had a new neighbor from the city tell me to keep my dogs in at night as they are getting into his garbage! I asked him if he is aware that the coyotes, fox, skunks, raccoons could very well be the problem while telling him my dogs are never out in the middle of the night! He turned white and did not realize wildlife lives here. Idiot!! Also told him that keeping the garbage outdoors unprotected is going to create a bigger problem for him than he can handle, with the wildlife getting bolder about coming into his yard!
Have fun and hope everyone goes away happy!

LOL. Well I have a photo where I had to shoot over the head of a bear coming into my house through the screen door. Never hit the bear but man did he go! I use bungies on my garbage can but I've had coons roll them hundreds of yards away from where I kept them.
I have a ramp up to my backdoor, built for the woman who used to live here. I regularly have deer tracks on it and coyotes who come to try to catch my cats. I always open the door slowly because twice the resident skunk was munching cat food. Momma skunk had her babies under that ramp. I never bothered her and she never bothered me and boy were those babies cute! When they went behind her in a line it looked like a giant B&W caterpillar. My next door neighbor keeps bees so they all got done in with his traps. Put up your own signs. People will take notice of them whereas no one pays attention to highway signs.
Don;t expect any logical answers from the government. They just posture until the issue passes. The opposition is just using the situation to get votes in the next election. The NDP won only in "Floodipeg" but they have to make it look like they care about the rest. Besides, their city problems flows from out here in the boonies first. I do what I can. I want to divert water into the swamps and hold it there as long as possible. Leopard frogs and spade-footed toads love me! Politicians do not.

That is horrible for someone to set traps for the sake of the bees. There are many hives you can get where nothing can get into. Kind of a shame to see that happening. We had some poachers here last year and shot two of my bucks and just left them behind for the scavengers. I was just livid and so was the other neighbor. Has happened on several occasions. A fun story about a skunk. A friends neighbor's son who is 3 said the cat was playing with her baby, the cat was male. l.o.l.The women never though anything of it and the child let the cat into the house and then told his mom the cat brought her baby into the house. The woman then investigated and it was a wee baby skunk and the cat was looking after it like it was his baby. Cleaning it and cuddling it. Not sure what the woman did with the skunk but hear they make amazing pets. Very clean and mostly like dogs and use a litter box! HMMMMM! I hear the raccoons and so many coyotes here in the summer, head up north in the winter. We keep our garbage in the back of one of the half tons and nothing seems to bother it. Go to the dump once a week though. I seriously think I will put up my own signs, but the highway guy said make sure it is not on the highway shoulder or they have to take it down! He said it sound like a great idea though!l.o.l,. Also said don't tell anyone I told you that!l.o.l.
Yes the government is a force to be reckoned with and they have their own rules, just too bad they don't play by them! They are crooks and the worst of story tellers without any results in the end. Once they get voted in all the promises are gone. Fight for your swamp, the frogs need a new lease on life. There use to be sooo many leopard frogs when I was a kid. In Biology one year we had to dissect some leopard frogs, they were live and when school was out I took them all and brought them home. My parents knew I was always bringing something live home so really never questioned the 20 something frogs.l.o.l. We went to a swamp outside the city to release them. Nobody ever found out I took the frogs. I had thrown them out the window, got a pail and collected them after school let out!l.o.l. They brought in dead frogs next week. Not sure if I won that war but was happy to let the frogs go back into the wild. We are looking to buy a 1/4 section of land all forest. My plans are to have a wildlife sanctuary there with deer, bird, and all types of animal feeders. Hope this happens. In the middle of nowhere with crown land all around! No hunting of course and will monitor the property during the hunting season. Should be interesting with all the signs I will post to see how many hunters will try to cross the line! They at times seem to think they have no rules as well. Politicians are just concerned about the all mighty dollar. Keep up your war with them! Possibly they will leave you alone.
