Sepia Scenes

In Saskatchewan, outside of Maple Creek, is the only winery located in Saskatchewan.
One of the outbuildings on the property.

Closer view.

I thought these buildings went well in Sepia.

Pretty big sky here, that day was really cold even though it was August of last year.

Path leading up to the Winery, to the left. This winery made fruit wines such as Apple, Cranberry, Strawberry and one of my favorite fruit wines, Rhubarb wine.

Macro Monday

Here is another recipe for one of my favorite foods, Chicken Wings.

HONEY SESAME CHICKEN WINGS

A few dozen Chicken Wings
Salt and Pepper
1/4 cup Liquid Honey
2 TBSP. Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp. Sesame Oil
1 TBSP. Olive Oil
Mix all ingredients in a shallow bowl, add your chicken wings in and toss to coat wings. Let them marinate until you are ready to cook.
Spread wings on cookie sheet lined with Tin Foil, and sprinkle generously with 1/3 cup Roasted Sesame Seeds. Also sprinkle all the wings with Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper.
Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
Wings are done when skin is crisp and caramelized.
Sprinkle chopped Green Onions over top to garnish wings and enjoy!

These wings are supper tonight and so get down good that I thought you might want to try them sometime as well. They are also super easy to make, and after they are all gone, all you have to do is roll up the tin foil and throw it out and dishes are done!

Today's Flowers

Here are a couple of flowers from my friend Gay's garden. Her father who is in his nineties now, tends the garden all summer. And it is a huge garden! He sells the flowers in a road side stand outside his house.
I have spent quite a few afternoons in thier gardens taking photos, and after enjoying some snacks and wine outside in the garden.

The Dalhia's that are grown in the garden are large and beautiful. They make stunning bouquets.

I would love to send some pictures of flowers for Guest Host to Today's Flowers but can't for the life of me find where to send them to. Could someone who knows please give me the information in my comments. Thank you in advance!

Skywatch Friday

SKYWATCH FRIDAY

Sometimes you can see the sky in other things such as window reflections.
As well as the sky reflected in the barn window, you can also see part of the mountain and a small barn on the next property with two horses on the side. You have to look close!

Pulling back from the window you can see the blue sky behind the barn. The day was cold but the sky was bright and blue!

Sepia Scenes for Watery Wednesday

A cool damp foggy day at Mike Lake in Golden Ears Park in Maple Ridge, B.C. The lake was calm allowing the reflections in the water to be clear and concise. Behind me where I took this photo was a small floating dock out into the water and a couple of small boats fly fishing in the lake beyond that. It was very peaceful and quiet.
