Prairie Sloughs
Waterloo to Calgary in a Cessna 150
Just when you could almost get
nostalgic for good old Ontario bogs,
enter a new landform to appreciate:
the prairie slough, pronounced "slew" --
an endless variety of patterns, colours
and conditions:
water-filled centres
surrounded by green and
soft mauve...
...or dried up, looking like
freshly ironed linen cloth...
...or simply existing, sometimes
wet, sometimes dry, allowing
the farmer to work around and
around their irregular contours
and surround them in the
green and gold of his grain, or
the bright yellow of canola...
Thursday, July 10 - Leg 8: St. Andrews to Brandon
