Chasing Yesterday - Saskatchewan

Photos from Susan Smith Brazill.

I have a deep connection to forgotten spaces - remnants of the past in the vast expanse of the Saskatchewan landscape. Chasing Yesterday Photography embodies a quest for memory, history, and the beauty found in the forgotten, all intricately tied to the endless skies of the prairie. It’s about the stories waiting to be discovered and shared.

Vintage Aurora Borealis Glass Beads

I've seen beads like this and did not know they had this name. So, now you know too. They're beautiful. I don't wear jewelry but I like to admire it.

An Unexpected Fork in the Road

He came to an unexpected fork in the road. It wasn't on the map he'd been given.

Still, there was the choice of left or right, or to just go back and forget about the whole trip. But, having started this mad adventure it seemed a good time to keep going, to not give up. So, left or right... To the right he could plainly see the road leading to the town, fairly far in the distance yet. To the left, the road led into a dark forest. Studying the road, it seemed to disappear into the darkness thick with trees.

Well, what was an adventure without some mystery, a little danger, a bit of risk? He was a master of all the video games he had ever tried... no problem.

He walked to the left, into the forest, and was never seen again.

Writing Prompt: Pick a phrase you hear, something that tends to stick in your mind. Write a really short story around it.

Forest History Ontario

Forest History Ontario believes that Ontario’s Forest history is an important story. It is the foundation of Ontario’s story. It is a story of people – leaders and pioneers, workers and entrepreneurs. It is a fascinating story - of exploration and development, of research and education, of fables and facts. Each of them has insights to reveal and valuable lessons to share. We think it vital that we do our best to ensure these stories are not lost; rather that they’re captured, collected, and made accessible; so future Ontarians continue to benefit from the value of the learning and richness of the lore.
