| from the vehicle window - sweet yellow clover forever |
That may not look like a lot. My husband didn't see much. But I jumped out of the vehicle and squealed at all the color! Saskatchewan ditches are truly fabulous. They are like hidden treasures. You just have to look. There's SO much beauty here. People overlook it all the time. I had my eyes peeled for fibre art inspiration. ...and I got it!

| Beautiful Blanket Flowers in the foreground!! |
That last one has so much depth. I played around with it and cropped it into this next one, which I really like as well. It's all purple & green. I like the feel of it, and there's lots of texture and color for a fibre piece.

| Lovely purples & indigos with green, yellow, rust |
Here's the same one again, just cropped differently. Wouldn't this make a gorgeous panel-style wall hanging!? Ooh you can count on this one to happen!

| I am stitching this one for sure! |
It's so pretty! I can't get over how surreal it looks. My husband was laughing at me, in disbelief at how I can see things that he did not notice. Honestly, I don't know how people drive by the ditches here without noticing! : ) I have a few more I'll post later. For now, ENJOY the pretties!! I apologize for how small these are! Originally they are gigantic files. I have so much inspiration for this winter's solo show, I just can't wait!

I am probably with your husband and wouldn't see it either but that is why we need people like you to see it, capture it and then share it with us - my favourite photo is the last one - love those yellow flowers too! Gorgeous all of them!
Beautiful shots, Monika!!
Love the pics, love your excitement! Beauty is everyone if you open your eyes :).
Stay inspired!
Hey, I'm smiling with you. Those are marvelous scenes!
Sorry they are sooo small. You can see them better on my Flickr page.
: )

These are beautiful...I can see them all as your art creations!
Thanks Monica...I don't get out in the country very often but I have always enjoyed the scenery
and the ditches...looking for more!

They are amazing. I love your photos, and they really make me see things differently. I've been biking on the highway in the early morning, and the flowers and birds and insects are fantastic.
youdbetter enjoy these pictures - with all the moisture we've had over the past few years, I think the grasses and wildflowers are way more lush than usual. You may need to store some photos for when the dry years come back and everything is brown and dead!!! LOL! I remember driving to Calgary and seeing some of those areas completely brown and bare, and now they are lush and green.
Love the colours in your pictures. Beautiful photos, they will make wonderful fibre art pieces.
Monika,
I love the prairie crops and flowers Monika- When we head to my parents who live in Red Deer we try to take some of the back highways rather than the QE2 as the panoramic views are just way more interesting and spectacular.
The flowers are stunning and I love seeing purple and yellow together. Last week my yellow day lilies were blooming and so were the purple iris- it was a pretty sight.
Thanks for sharing,
Regards,
Anna
Monika,
If you think the ditches are amazing you should come back out to my place (with your kids) and go for a walk on the native prairie lands. So much is blooming right now it is amazing.
