The lowest we’ve had so far this winter is -39C (-38F), so it has been a bit chilly. 😉
And very Christmas card-looking.
Happy Tuesday. 🙂
It’s Cold Out

Winter Greetings
As we head to the shortest day of the year, I’m looking forward to the solstice and our turn toward spring …
… toward a better year … toward safer times for all of us.
Happy Monday. 🙂
The Bridge
The Deh Cho Bridge is a one km-long cable-stayed bridge across a 1.6 km span of the Mackenzie River on the Yellowknife Highway near Fort Providence, Northwest Territories.
I’ve crossed many bridges, both physical and figurative. Some have been “cable-stayed” and others have been ready to fall into an immense crevasse.
The figurative bridges have sometimes been the very worst and I would have given anything to have had decking under my feet.
How about you?
Mighty Mackenzie River
The Northwest Territories’ Mackenzie River is the centre point of the longest river system in Canada, and includes the second largest drainage basin of any North American river after the Mississippi.
At times, it’s large enough to make you feel as if you’re on an ocean.
Happy Friday. 🙂
Moon North
A pastel blue and bluish-pink characterised this rising north moon as I drove north two nights ago.
Appropriately enough for the north, this moon is known as the “beaver moon” and is the last full moon of 2020.
I am happy to be moving into the last month of 2020, as well. I hope we learn from it, but I also want it to leave.
Happy week, everyone. 🙂
Royalty, Anyone?
You can’t fight it, so you might as well ask for support. 😉
Truck Ptarmigan
This poor little guy was wind-blown into the house a couple of evenings ago.
He seemed to bounce and then landed on the roof of my truck. He initially didn’t look very well but was moving about.
I kept an eye on him and about 20 minutes later, he flew away. I was quite concerned about him because ravens would consider him to be a tasty snack. They are huge, aggressive, and smart.
Happily, he was able to recover before the ravens realised he was there.
A win for the ptarmigans. Maybe, a covid-mitigating win for all of us is coming soon.
Happy week. 🙂
Winter Skies
This post was first published in early December, 2017. I love these photos and thought it was time to show them again. Have a good weekend. 🙂
Here on the edge of Great Slave Lake, where I am north of 60 degrees N latitude, I feel like I am living inside a winter post card.
The light here is diffused by the sun’s angle.
We are only getting about six – seven hours of daylight now but the landscape that comes into view is spectacular.
The sun peeking through a layer of cirrus cloud.
At night, there is also a light show.
The Aurora Borealis.
At two in the afternoon, the sun is getting ready to go down.
Frosty trees, warm light.
The light and colours are here are almost monochromatic, and very restful.
What does your winter look like?
November 2’s Monday Marvellous
It snowed some more!
Happy Monday, everyone, have a good week. 🙂
A Little Frosty
Not too cold yet, but it’s definitely frosty. ❄️
Happy November. 🙂
