A couple of things
Three or four days ago Liza Lee Miller of the always entertaining Its Just Me, gave me an award, and said some pretty nice things about the House. I’m very flattered that she thought that highly of the place. The beauty of awards such as these, are that they are an expression of someone’s appreciation…

More iceberg pictures
Last night about 2:30 am, the light was beautiful and I managed to take a much nicer shot of the small ‘berg in Arctic Bay.. This is a closer shot from earlier in the day, taken from the end of the new Airstrip… Just in case the helicopter company needs some promotional pictures… And as…

Too too too, lookin’ out my front door
Sigh, just another day in the Arctic. Helicopter on the front lawn, picturesque iceberg floating around the bay.

A thought on the everyday
I was just in the shower (and I know more than a few of you are in the process of poking out your eyes trying to get that image out of your head), and I somehow started thinking about my wash cloth, and what a marvel it is. Some twenty years ago (in 1987, 88…

Flesh for Fantasy
Warning: Some may find an event described in this post disturbing. One lazy summer Sunday afternoon I was sitting in the office in La Ronge when the phone rang. A youth was on the phone, sounding a little panicky and he needed the police. Why? Well his he and his friends were just hanging out…

Doo doo doo, lookin’ out my front door
I don’t know why, but there is just a certain cachet in having a helicopter parked in your front yard.

Nyah nyah nyah, you can’t see me.
When we went to Victor Bay this evening I grabbed the camera, thinking I’d take a quick trip out to where the Baird’s Sandpipers were yesterday and quickly locate their nest, grab a couple of shots and leave them in peace. But they weren’t near the same area. It didn’t take too long to find…

Baird’s Sandpiper
I’m still sorting through photos of Travis’ and my camping trip, and not up for that post quite yet. But here are three photos from the end of our hike from the canyon to Victor Bay. Nesting Baird’s Sandpipers (Calidris bairdii) were quite upset that we had wandered near their nests. I’m quite taken by…

Breaking up is hard to do
Break up this year took forever. Not that it’s late or anything, depending on how you look at it is roughly on time or ten days to a week early. It started early, but what normally takes place over two or three days went on for a week or more. This photo (or rather series…
