My Top Twelve Photographs Of 2024

Posted on December 30, 2024December 29, 2024 by Linda

I live in Saskatchewan, Canada, the land of living skies. It’s impossible not to take gorgeous photos of this province. It’s beautiful here. And yes, I understand that it’s all in the eye of the beholder. Recently, someone commented that some of quick phone images of the Saskatchewan prairie I posted on social media make it look barren. Barren, I thought? Not a chance!

Gerry and I often go for drives on prairie roads. Sometimes, I capture quick images with my phone when something catches my eye or quickens my heart. Other times, we take our grown-up Canon cameras and shoot intentionally.

As we’re nearing the end of another year, I thought I’d share a dozen favourites I shot with my big girl camera to give you a glimpse into our beautiful province.

Here’s to another year of getting out and appreciating the beautiful world we live in!

      I’m heavily biased toward the beauty of Saskatchewan, Kate, even as I know that every place the world over has a unique beauty of its own. Like yours!

      Oh, thank you, Caitlynne. Anytime I can contribute quiet and calm I feel like I’ve accomplished something important.

    I love the prairie, too! Your photos bring it to life. I’m reading a wonderful book called Where the Sky Began by John Madson, about the preservation of the American prairies. His writing is quite beautiful.

      Happy 2025, Karen! I’m off to look for that book now.

Hi, I’m Linda Hoye. Welcome! I live in Saskatchewan, Canada with my husband and our Yorkie, Molly. Retired from my corporate career, I appreciate having time and opportunity to fill my days with things that nourish my soul and spirit like writing. watercolour painting, reading, gardening, and blogging about the simple joys of every day. I’ve been blogging since 2008, starting fresh here in 2022 when we moved home to Saskatchewan. May this space be a sanctuary in a very noisy world. 😊
