ever been offroading on the road?

We went for a drive yesterday, (mailing stuff and all :) ), and finally managed to capture a hawk with the camera!  They usually fly away when we slow down, so it’s difficult to get a photo of them.  Enjoy!

He was so beautiful.  He moved very fast out of frame when he did fly away.

It’s been very wet around here the last couple of years, and this spring is no exception.  We went on an unfamiliar road and ended up offroading on the road.  Thank goodness Jeepy has 4 wheel drive!

note to self, always keep metal tire grip thingies in vehicle winter, spring, summer, and fall.

We are enjoying some a long awaited sunshine here in Saskatchewan.  I’m hoping water levels go down and things stay hot and dry.

I started *another* project, just cuz it was clamouring in my head to get out NOW.  It’s done and I’ll share the Ta Da as soon as I have photos. :)
