I am taking the pause that refreshes. After being promoted to a new job that is testing any and all abilities that I might or might not have, I have to take a break. A summer photo from the Okanagan in British Columbia. I will be dropping in from time to time to…

Remembrance Day
30 Days of Gratitude- Day 11 (Photo credit: aussiegall) I first published this post on November 11, 2013 and then again in 2015. As a tribute to my family's veterans and all those many, many others, here it is again. Thank you for your service. We will remember. In Canada, today…
A Picture (or Two)
I missed Wordless Wednesday but here's a picture for Thursday ... of a sunny Okanagan day in July. And another ... of the snowboarding venue for the Arctic Winter Games for 2018. We are starting to collect a lot of snow. Greetings and happy November from the Northwest Territories. 🙂

More Yellowknife
This photo shows a recent overcast day at a small lake just outside of Yellowknife. To me, the landscape is iconically northern-looking with much evidence of the Canadian Shield covered by short trees. Clear ice is also forming on this pond. Probably enough to walk on, but I wouldn't take the chance yet.And, one more shot…
Yellowknife
Yellowknife is pretty famous among tourists as a great place from which to see the Aurora Borealis. But a sunset is also quite wonderful. Yellowknife at night. A land of light within the dark.
Happy Thanksgiving
Summer reflected in the bounty of fall. Happy Thanksgiving.
Don’t Call Me Petal
Are there "pet" names in your life? Names that are perhaps more sour than sweet? Names that make you roll your eyes? Or worse, make you want to hurl? I mean, I've been called names that, well, I can't repeat here. Like, you know, twitface and frackwit. I can take those. But what I really…
