This post is about a 3-hour wander on Thursday, December 11th, but there was a build-up to it. Two days before that, I had driven into Whitehorse to see if there were any good ice fog photos available yet, with the temperature at -28°C/-18°F. I shot the two photos...

Working with a website that’s almost 25 years old can be frustrating, and it’s pretty much constantly on my mind to do something about the design. The challenge – and it’s a huge challenge – is that there are over 31,000 files making up over 5,000 individual pages, and...

We’re having a very gentle start to winter, but the skies are almost always cloudy, and that’s affecting many of us. Yesterday I fired up the Jeep and went looking for some sun. I went to bed very early the night before last because the skies had cleared late...

On October 28th, there was a lot to think about after my surgery that morning. I didn’t sleep well, and walking with my camera is very therapeutic for me, so at 04:30 the next morning, I went for a walk and just kept going. By the time I got...

Cathy and I flew down to Vancouver on September 23rd and stayed at the Sheraton Wall Centre hotel for one night, enjoyed the lovely weather they were having, then came home. Then on October 27th (my 75th birthday) we did it again, staying for two nights at the Fairmont...

Although we’ve been seeing good displays of aurora borealis since early August, last night was the first time I’ve been out for long enough with a good enough display to tell you about it here. Last night was actually the third very good night in a row but it...

The e-bike ride on September 13th was excellent so I was really looking forward to getting on the V-Star (“the noisy bike”) for a lengthy ride out to Kluane Lake and back the next day. This is a fairly common ride for me – while the ride isn’t overall...

I’m a week late with this post – it’s now full-on Fall, and night-time lows have hit -5°C/23°F at least 3 times in recent days. A bit of snow is forecast by the end of this week. But on September 12th, our amazingly warm and sunny Indian Summer was...

Back on March 9th, I posted a review of a pair of KÜHL Revolvr hiking pants that had immediately become my favourite pants for the backcountry when full leg coverings are appropriate. While Cathy and I were in Europe, I got an email from KÜHL asking if I would...

On Monday, September 1st, we took the motorhome to the White Pass, and this is the second post from that trip. My day started early as usual, but this time I was on the road, to get some photos at the Canada-USA border while the highway was still closed...
