  • I and the Bird #84

    Rob Fergus is a tireless blogger, with not one, but two blogs, his own The Birdchaser and Audubon's official blog Audubon's Birdscapes.  He also just got back from birding Guatemala and turned… just had a birthday. Be sure to check out his steller turn at hosting the premiere bird carnival on the web A Beginner's…

  • Dusk

    I looked out the window a little while ago, and noticed that it was already dusk. That sensual blue-grey time of day, where everything looks a little softer. I glanced at my watch to see that it was only eight o'clock, and that it was the 21st of September.  The Autumnal Equinox had snuck up…

  • Arrrhh! Ya Salty Gopher

    Its International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Go put on The Last Saskatchewan Pirate. If you don't have it, get it. Or Ye be walkin' the plank. Arrhh!

  • Last one, I promise

    I'm feeling lazy these days when it comes to the written word (plus I'm busy doing office work), so my posts have been reflecting that. Much easier to whip up some quick photos.  I've got some posts in mind but I'll get to them later. I still would like to do a wild flower post,…

  • The view from the front deck

    Because I'm too lazy to write this morning, here's what I'm looking at right now.

  • There’s a reason that I love this town

    I've got a Joel Plaskett ear worm running unstoppable through my brain this afternoon.  But here is the reason that I love this town. Well there are other reasons but this amazing woman, holding her cousin's newborn is the main one. And just by way of a bonus, here is the other woman in my…

  • The parade of ships continues

    Another sealift ship arrived today, although strangely enough it is here to take things away from Arctic Bay rather than bring things in.  This ship is taking on empty sea containers and some heavy equipment taking them to points south.  Updated Photo: The CCGS Henry Larson arrived this afternoon and can be seen in the…
