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…

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…
Northern Autumn
Here in the north ... ... the rivers are low. It has been hot and dry. But it's cooler now and the autumn colours emerge quickly and early. The birches are lovely ... ... and the air invigorating and fresh. But soon, all this will be covered in snow. We have to enjoy the wonders…
Closing Time
The last summer days are coming to a close. Unable to continue their slowing breaths, some leaves in this northern clime are already turning yellow. So must we all. And know the beauty that exists in the end. Wherever you are in the northern hemisphere, happy autumn. 🙂 To you southerners, happy spring. 🙂
