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.

Thank you. It is actually a piece of wood encrusted in calcium carbonate. Plant and algae accumulate carbonate deposits in their cells and form the barriers with waterfalls. It is a living, ever changing system. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tufa

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.
