I found these beautiful red bushes glowing in their fall mantle. I don't know what kind of bushes they are, but like most things in life, they're just passing through, gifting us with their colour before they're gone. Happy Fall.

Too Gorgeous
We recently visited Twin Falls Gorge Territorial Park not far from Hay River, NWT. The river was very low from the dry summer but the falls were still very impressive. It was an invigorating visit - quite cool at only 6°C. Winter is approaching quickly and yes, it will be cold. Be we will also…
Do You Know What These White Spots Are?
It's not a case of really bad dandruff. It's not dry skin. It's not an example of galloping exfoliation. Nope. It's snow. I know I'm in the north, but yikes. That's soon even for here. However, at least we don't have a hurricane coming at us. To those who do, stay safe. Good luck and…

Shadows
Sometimes we have shadows. They help us stay cool or they lead to the light. Sometimes we have shadows. They sit in our hearts or they lead to the night.
Night Garden with Moon

Loads of flowers, ornamental plants and a gurgling stream complete this garden oasis. It is truly stunning but also relaxing. My friend has built…
My British Columbia Home
Here's a little tour of my home in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. When I am not working in the Northwest Territories, I am usually here. Okanagan Lake is a very deep, very long north to south (135 km) body of fresh water with very different climates from one end to the other. Even…
