More wonderful photos from Stuart. The ocean photo is particularly gorgeous. Thanks, Stuart. 🙂
A photo …
… and a painting.
This is another photo from my lake series of last fall, with the painting based on the photo.
The painting is by local artist Wayne Keefe, and is now hanging in my office.
It helps me to centre when I have particularly busy days.
Have a good week, everyone. 🙂

The Great Slave Lake has defrosted, finally.
When I’m in the north, I live near this lake. It’s the tenth largest in the world, the deepest in North America, and has a huge impact on the weather. To some extent, it moderates, but it also causes the heavy, wet lake effect snow, too.
We had quite a warm day yesterday, but when I went walking on the lake trail, the breeze coming from it was decidedly cool. It hasn’t warmed up much yet!
The name “Slave” has nothing to do with slaves or slavery but comes from an Indigenous word, “Slavey,” and is Dene in origin. The Slavey people are distinct from the Dene, but their histories have intersected frequently.
Here is another photo of the same lake, from a similar vantage point, taken in December, 2019. I think it was about -40C.
Greetings from Great Slave Lake.
Have a good week. 🙂
