Winagami Lake and Kimiwan Lake, just north of High Prairie, are examples of places where I’ve been many times, and yet there is a newness about the colour and vibrancy of the waving grass and the sparkling water each time I go. Closer to home, there is of course Big Lake near St. Albert, and the lake at Clifford E. Lee Sanctuary near Devon. I have spent several entire afternoons at Long Lake, up near Boyle, watching the huge sky unfold infinite shapes and shades of clouds and their reflections.
