Glow
Showing my complete lack of imagination I give you more sunrise photos, from this morning's trip to drop Leah off at work.

This doesn't really fall under the category of True Crime, but I was reminded of this story earlier today and thought it worth sharing. And seeing as it does involve mounties, True Crime it is…. I don't know how many of you have been to an RCMP Regimental Ball but they are fancy affairs. The…

Tired yet?
Not sure if you tired of seeing my morning skies that are painted for me this time of year, but I'm sure not. Here is one from this morning, I stood on the frosty, snowy deck in bare feet while taking these this morning. A bad example for my children who watched me out there.

Frozen
This morning I awoke to find that the bay had frozen over. It still could go out, its just a thin crust upon the surface and a strong wind would undo it all, but a couple of more days of weather like this (cold and calm) and it will be a done deal for the…

Two views of the sunrise this morning over Adam's Sound. The first is rendered as an HDR (High Dynamic Range) photo, the second is a wider view that happily includes a Raven.

The last five or so years freeze-up has been late, up to five weeks late. And although the Thanksgiving weekend has come and gone it looks like freeze-up has begun, only…

Power to the people
Our electricity is something we rarely give pause to think about. If you're like me you flip on a light switch without ever giving a thought about running out. Today, however, it is very much on my mind. All of our electricity is diesel generated. There is no "grid" of any sort bringing in electricity…

Thanks be
It is Thanksgiving Day in Canada, and although some don't think we make a big deal of it up here it is a big deal for me. For me it is a day to reflect on just how lucky a person I am, a day for family, and a one of four days in the…
