Easter

Winter will vanish in an instant

Manitoba is recovering from that Colorado Low that hit a huge swath of the country. But within a couple of days of Easter the daily high is supposed to soar to 16 degrees Celsius or higher. Spring will no longer be just a sad joke.

I am not sure I am a good enough photographer to capture the stark beauty of the spare landscape around here at this time of year, but here are a few pictures that try.

Fishing shacks need to be off Lake Winnipeg by April 1, but some diehards haven’t had enough
St. Peter and Paul’s Ukrainian Catholic Church, Thalberg, Manitoba

Thanks you to all of those who have been leaving comments. All of them are interesting. Some of them are useful, in a practical sense. I really enjoy seeing them.

A friend pointed out this piece in Saturday’s Globe and Mail about driving an EV in winter conditions. Brother, you don’t know the half of it. But it all seemed correct to me.

Wonderful photos, Paul. Ukrainian church evokes strong memories of travelling in northeastern Poland and mosques, believe it or not. In the early 1700s when Tatars were given land as rewards for being on the ‘right’ side in war, they built wooden mosques that looked like local churches in many ways because that is what locals knew how to build !
