Canada has these premier museums, each out there in a relatively small town. Today was the Reynolds Museum in Wetaskiwin. Don't ask me to pronounce that, typical name for Alberta. 95 miles one way,we made it in two hours, pretty much flat out in the T through that great Alberta farmland, on nice backroads, little traffic. The countryside is this pretty green (wheat) and gold (canola) patchwork quilt, you can't capture it in a picture,it's too pretty. Click on any picture for a larger version.
Love the way the canola looks like it is flowing around the power poles. Here are a few of the things that caught myeye in the museum,,,
The above are things on display in the main museum, then we walked thru their warehouse where things not on display are, shades of Raiders of the lost ark. Click on any picture for a larger version.
The picture on the right is a dissembled Model T undercarriage.
Long day, ran the T hard all day. All good.
Yesterday, we saw 5 white pelicans, here in the middle of Alberta!! How is that possible? Googled white pelicans and turns out they are migratory, and return to Alberta for summer nesting. Before winter sets in, they migrate to southern U.S. and Mexico. Amazing. Also lots of gulls, slightly different bill markings from the CA gulls.
