Autumn colours are beginning to emerge in the understory of Nisbet Forest near MacDowell, #Saskatchewan – likely triggered by drought or other environmental stressors rather than frost.

It is that time of the year again: saskatoon trees (Amelanchier alnifolia) are in bloom everywhere. The species name derives from the Cree noun 'misâskwatômina' City of #Saskatoon is named after the berry

Agricultural fields with a wetland in early spring. Near Runnymede #Saskatchewan.

Wetlands play a vital role in healthy agricultural landscapes. Regrettably, wetlands are being removed from our ag lands with a neck breaking speed.

Agricultural fields with a wetland in early spring. Near Runnymede Saskatchewan. Wetlands play a vital role in healthy agricultural landscapes – they regulate hydrological (water) cycles during spring floods and summer droughts, filter the undesirable heavy metals and fertilizers from field runoff, and provide a home for numerous plants and animals.

Early spring, with no leaves to obstruct the view, provides a perfect opportunity to look for patterns and #detailsinnature. I found this dense thicket of willow and red osier dogwood shoots and decided to play with blurred motion by moving my camera during exposure.
