Summer has its undisputable winning creatures. When I was in the tropics a few years ago, I was happy to have a single silhouette of a hummingbird in one of my pictures.
Never would I have thought to get so close to them, way out of the tropics as well. Hummingbirds are fairly rare in Europe, but not here. Here, they are the kings or queens of summer.
Yeah, it happens. Today I wanted to go to St Leon’s Wind Farm in Manitoba. Shortly after arriving on the scene, my gas light comes on, telling me that I have only a few miles more to live.
So, I tried the gas station in St Leon. Closed. My GPS tells me the nearest gas station is 10 miles away. On my way there, the ads on the side of the road tell me that here is the place where they create free energy. That helps 
. A long story short…
Many places in nature are called magical. Some places are even called religious. However, it is often pretty difficult to sense the spirit of the places in question.
After two years, I decided to return to Bannock point and try to feel some more of the spirituality of the place.
Last time I went south, straight into the rain, or at least with the rain. So the next day I decided to go north to try my luck at the Icelandic Festival in Gimli, MB.
During the trip all was sunny and warm. Arriving in Gimli, the rain started gushing down… What a surprise. However not enough to get me back to Winnipeg without checking out the Festival…
August Long Weekend. A see a trend here… Long weekend in Canada = Rain and more rain. Hmmm… I have to think positive and stay positive!!! After all that is the underlying philosophy of this blog…
So, rain and more rain… What to do? Well, last weekend there were enough festivals to choose from. So the first I chose was at the Mennonite Heritage Village in Steinbach.
