They do always seem to enjoy songs that get stuck in your head (as Dina and her horn are now). Pray to heavens that they never learn "The Song That Doesn't End*" by Shari Lewis. Argh! Now I've done it to myself.<br /><br />Those flax fields must have been incredible.

You have made me think about places 'outside of my box', so to speak! I get so caught up here in my own area that I've forgotten there are so many other amazing areas in this wonderful world of ours! How neat your trip sounded!

When I lived in Edmonton, for about 8 yrs in a row we spent our vacation (well a week ea time) camping at Waterton and hiking each day.

A field of flax is an awesome sight, but I have to settle for a little 0.5 metre square field in my garden.<br /><br />I love camping and hiking in Waterton. There are some beautiful fields of wildflowers there, touching right to the mountains.Northern Shadehttp://northernshade.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196584061773851542.post-5848039135994624682009-08-09T09:27:38.898-06:002009-08-09T09:27:38.898-06:00I agree.

The plan was to speed across the prairies to get to the Rockies and do some hiking there before we went on to similar adventures on the Coast. But we were seduced by the fields of canola, flax and grain, the beautiful blue sky, the immense country. The result was that we poked along, visiting Mary Soderstromhttp://marysoderstrom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196584061773851542.post-66808114594476293982009-08-08T20:36:15.048-06:002009-08-08T20:36:15.048-06:00What a lovely post, and beautiful shots of the cou...What a lovely post, and beautiful shots of the countryside and farmland.sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.com
