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…
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. 🙂
Inuvik
For the past few days, I've been working in Inuvik, NWT, which is at 68° N latitude. It's very much the home of the all-night sun. I found these pretty cotton plants. And purple fire flowers. And the Mackenzie River, which is so wide that it looks like a lake. Greetings from the summery far…
Happy Fireworks Days
I am away in the far north at the moment: 68° north latitude, to be exact, in Inuvik, Northwest Territories. We are in between the national days of Canada and the United States, so, I hope all you Canucks had a fabulous Canada Day, 🇨🇦 and to our great American cousins, I hope you have…
A Dodgy Summer
It has been a rather dodgy spring and summer also has had an interesting start. Well, not really. Kind of alternating. A couple of days of cold rain followed by a couple of days of sweltering humidity. Really unattractive. But ... There have been wild roses. And interesting clouds. And panting northern hot dogs. And…
Meet the Bruin Triplets
We recently encountered the Bruin triplets. As a precaution, we photographed them through our windshield - the photo quality suffered because the window was dirty and there's also a lot of visible glare. The bears are coming into a lot of contact with humans however, and we think it's best not to open windows or…
Wood Buffalo National Park
Wood Buffalo National Park is one of the largest preserves in the world. M and I recently drove through a small part of it. We saw bison (buffalo) of course but also bears. And a sink hole. It was the middle of May but there was still a little ice and snow at the bottom…
