D is for Dinosaur: ABC Wednesday Round #3

This post is all about , "Once upon a time..." when dinosaurs roamed the lands of Alberta, Canada. I am also delving into the past by using some of my old 35mm photos taken sometimes in the 1990's. This first photo above is of a replica of a Tyrannosaurus Rex standing in front of the tourist bureau in Milk River, Alberta. In the background of this picture are perhaps what some might consider more modern day dinosaurs, those of grain elevators, many of which have now disappeared from the landscape of this prairie province.

These last two photos of dinosaurs were taken at the Prehistoric Park at the Calgary Zoo. This park features life size re-creations allowing visitors to walk through the land of southern Alberta as it may have been millions of years ago.

C is for Canyons: ABC Wednesday Round #3

There are two majestic canyons located in the Red Deer River Valley near Drumheller, Alberta. One is called Horseshoe Canyon, named for its shape, and the other, Horse Thief Canyon, named for the horse stealing activities reputed to have taken place there. I'm not sure which these pictures are of but I think perhaps they may be one of each, Horseshoe Canyon being the one at the top.

Thursday Challenge: Kite Over Saskatchewan

After reading of this week's theme I found this old 35 mm photo I had taken of a kite in 1993. We had stopped to take a break from our road trip in Saskatchewan and decided to do a bit of kite flying in the wide open spaces of the prairies.
