- Tuesday
December 11, 2007

Highway #2: This winter's snow has truly dressed up the forest between LaRonge and Prince Albert. I made the trip up to LaRonge Friday and back Monday and here are some pictures taken along the way.

by: Timothy W. Shire
LaRonge: I had always associated the arctic grouse with the Northwest Territories or Yukon but it seems they also like Saskatchewan. These guys were on Lac LaRonge enjoying their winter vacation in the South.

- Thursday
December 6, 2007
by: Joe Hueglin

by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Many states and now some provinces are putting up cameras to monitor their highways. The road from Prince Albert to LaRonge is long and lonely without services most of the way so it is impressive to see a web cam in operation on this highway.

- Tisdale Post Office sidewalk
- Tuesday
December 4, 2007
by: Murray McEwan

Tisdale: That snow level is piling up in our back yard and with the amount that fell and blew around last night most of the streets are looking pretty tough as well. Is this going to be a bad winter, the question is, compared to what?

- Friday
November 30, 2007
by: Darlene McCullogh
Tisdale: Working on a whole series of slide show presentations and sharing these with various seniors groups in the community seems to be one of the main activities of the club. But there is more by putting their work before one another they are constantly finding new and better ways to make that special picture. This month's theme was farming.

by: Brian Marlatt
White Rock, B.C.: Canada's conservatives have pretty much decided to align themselves with the US Bush administration when it comes to the issue of global warning. This may not be a very prudent approach to such a serious problem.
