  • Former shrimp plant on the south shore of Little Manitou Lake, Lake Avenue at Jean Street, Manitou Beach, Saskatchewan. The building was originally constructed in 1923 as Martin's Tourist Hotel and mineral baths, by Josiah Martin on the understanding that a sanatorium would be built in the community, contributing to the hotel's success in attracting visitors for the lake's reputed remedial and health giving properties. Wardley Brine Shrimp Co., owned by Frank Debevc, bought the building in the 1960s, to harvest and freeze the lake's shrimp for the tropical fish food market. The building had been abandoned for several years when exceptionally high spring run-off led to a rise in the lake's water level, causing flooding in 2011. In late winter, 2013, the Village of Manitou Beach arranged the building's demolition and it was torn down before the ice melted off the lake for the season.

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. Campsite at Paignton Beach. Note the rosehips. In anyplace but a national park, you can make a nutritious and delicious tea from them (you're not allowed to pick them in a national park).

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. Nighfall closes in on our campsite at Paignton Beach. Colleen (Gnyp) and I made a second winter camping trip the weekend following my trip with Mark Nicholson. We used this picnic shelter for our cooking. In the evening, we sat and drank green tea steeped in my stainless steel camp kettle.

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. Dinner: a hearty beef stew. Snow melts at the back of the stove. Water is important for winter camping; fortunately, there's an endless supply of soft water in melted snow.

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. A camping trip, usually in winter, is about the only time I'll prepare bacon and eggs for breakfast. There's just something about bacon and eggs in camp that make it more delicious than at any other occasion. It also provides calories that keep you warm.

  • The laughter of families in the still air of a hot day mingles like sounds you hear in a dream. Saskatchewan summer smells like fries and onion rings and everything good. It tastes like frosty strawberry milkshakes and drippy chocolate-dipped soft ice cream cones. It is cool, salty waves lapping at your feet and sun-warmed beach sand on your back.

  • When they used to arrive by special excursion train from all across the prairies, they took to Little Manitou Lake in small wooden boats. Today they drive by car and play on inflatable dinghies and personal watercraft. Times change, but summertime at Manitou Beach is timeless.

  • Wellington and Ollie White had to have known the were onto something, when they made their way from Moose Jaw to the shores of Little Manitou Lake in the 1920s. The little resort town was booming, the most popular destination on the prairies. They tore down the old Danceland that had been here before Manitou Beach incorporated in 1919, and built a grand, new dance hall, with horsehair-cushioned maple hardwood flooring. When they flung open the doors for the first time in 1928, it must have been quite the night. Danceland hasn’t stood still since.

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. Winter's night sky contains brighter stars than in summer. Barely visible to the eye, the northern lights glow brightly green in this long exposure. Later, long after we had gone to bed, the aurora unexpectedly expanded overhead and brilliantly illuminated the landscape. (Note that instability of the tripod in the snow prevents very large enlargements of this image.)

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. Trip with Colleen Gnyp, weekend following my trip with Mark Nicholson. This whiskey jack (grey jay) was pretty crafty, luring us away from the stove with its antics, then swooping past us to try to steal our breakfast. They're so cute, how could we resist?

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. The clouds blew away during the night, leaving us with a clear sky by about 4 a.m., and this beautiful sunrise just about 7:30 a.m.

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. Winter hues are much more muted than the saturated colours of summer. Past sunset, alpenglow casts the clouds in magenta, while the colours of the sky reflect in the snow-covered landscape.

  • In school, we colour summer green and blue. When we are let out for the summer, we learn that it’s all the boldest, brightest hues in the biggest box of pencil crayons. If it’s a good summer, we wear those colours down to the tiniest nubs, so that we can start with a fresh box next year.

  • Gulls and dragonflies enjoy the warmth on the first day of fall, as the sun dips toward the waters of Little Manitou Lake, Saskatchewan. Perhaps the music of the previous Saturday night carries them as it lingers across the waves and drifts into the air.
    2014090030063-jumbo-front-manitou-au...JPG
  • The sounds of laughter, hands slapping water and toes churning waves carry a long way across Little Manitou Lake. Floating so high and buoyant makes you giggle.
