A typical prairie summertime setting

nobody@flickr.com (Cody La Bière) — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 03:20:51 -0700

Bales of hay, very typically found on the prairies during the summer (and fall, winter and spring if the farmer doesn't come back for them).

Trees

I remember helping dad plant these trees back in '88 or '89, they've barely ever grown, but with the flood this summer, it was able to flourish more than ever before.. then again there were no cows nearby to eat the leaves this time.

Family Farm - 2005 vs 2011

Here's the family farm on Google Earth in 2005 versus 2011. The 2011 map is thanks to NASA, which you can view HERE. It's shocking how significant difference there is from 2005 to 2011. Much of the farm is under water, and you can see, just to the south of the farm, there's another lake of flood water. Lots of it is even more of my family's land. Apparently out of my dad's land, only 50/1000 acres are not under water this year. I sure hope it gets better from now.

The remnants of a community

If you were to drive down random gravel roads, you would have never known that this was at one point a town. All that remains left of Belleview, Manitoba is an abandoned house, a few grain bins, and a sign remembering the old school that closed in the community during the 1960s. There was a rail line that ran right next to the town until the '70s, and now the town is no more. They had an abandoned church there until a few years ago, now it's torn down, I really wanted to photograph it one day, but of course, I'm too late. Population: 0.

This house has been abandoned for around twenty years now, and appears to be part of a cow pasture now.

More photos of flooding at the farm, a bunch this time. I think it's starting to get better, the basement's doesn't need any more pumping for now. So hopefully this is the end of the worst of the flooding. It took Two weeks for the water to reach from the road to the north (3KM away) to here. That's alot of water.
