It’s late, and we’ve had a long day today and a busy day ahead, so I’m going to keep this one simple with a few more pictures from a trip.
Bright yellow fields of rapeseed plants used to produce canola oil are everywhere in Alberta.
All over Alberta we’ve seen mile after mile of bright yellow fields. I got curious and did a little research on what they were. These are fields of what used to be known as rapeseed, and they are used to press what is now known as canola oil.
The prettiest area we encountered today had fields of bright purple clover interspersed with the yellow canola fields. Sorry – wasn’t a good place to stop for a photo.
Canadian province flags at Fort Battleford.
We stopped at Fort Battleford National Historic Site in Saskatchewan today to collect a national parks stamp (more on that another day), and while we were there we saw this lovely line of Canadian province flags that had been put up a few days before for a new citizens signing in ceremony held at the site. What a lovely place to hold the ceremony!
The boardwalk in Stewart, BC.
And finally, one last photo from our time in Stewart, BC. This boardwalk goes out over a beautiful marsh area near the harbor for Stewart/Hyder. It gives you a dry way to walk through a big public park that would otherwise be quite soggy.
