  • 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. 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. 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. 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.

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. There's nothing like a strong espresso to start the day, especially with the aroma of a fresh brew wafting through camp.

The constellation Orion soars over our winter campsite, as Mark stokes the fire. (Note that instability of the tripod in the snow prevents very large enlargements of this image.)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Ice melting off the lake, Manitou Beach, downtown lakefront, May 2013

  • 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.
