From the morning of July 28th until the afternoon of August 3rd, Cathy and I were at Congdon Creek Campground on Kluane Lake. I wasn’t going to write a blog post because we didn’t do anything of note. But then a friend commented that perhaps that’s what is worth...

I got home Monday afternoon (December 4th) from a 3-night visit to Calgary, to see my kids and their families. I had booked the flights right after getting home from Hawaii, and have been pretty stressed out about it, but it went well. My only unassisted trip since I...

While improving ExploreNorth and The ExploreNorth Blog is an ongoing process, other parts of my network die. I opened “Everything Husky!” in 1999, but as of a few minutes ago it is effectively closed, with most pages except about 35 pages of evergreen content deleted. Linking to other sites...

A Facebook Memory this morning sent me back into a folder of images I hadn’t looked at for a long time. It contains 222 scans of Kodachrome slides I shot in January 1991 during a dog-sled expedition into the remote Blaeberry Valley west of Golden, BC, at the western...

When I left you last post, I had just poured myself a celebratory glass of very good single-malt on the evening of Tuesday, September 6. The day wasn’t over yet, though. Seeing great light on the beach just before 9:00 pm, Cathy and I went down and were greeted...

Although I’ve gotten ahead of myself with a couple of posts, I would still like to share our 9 days at Kluane Lake with you. I’ve gathered 65 photos so will do it in 2 posts. Although we didn’t do anything major, there was a fair bit of variety,...

Well, my friends, I don’t know how this will end, but I’m going to try to write a blog post in the style of “the before times.” If successful it will be my second post in 6 months. I have two things going on health-wise. I’m not going to...

It’s wonderful to finally get to spend a week with my daughter and son. This morning, I suggested that we go out to the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary, located 60 west near Cochrane. Despite being on the list of places I wanted to see for many years, Cathy and I...

Winter arrived early this year – very early – but then backed off for a couple of weeks, and I got out a few times to photograph the “in-between” season, with ice and open water, frost and green plants. And there were some interesting aircraft as well 🙂 My...

We can usually count on having snow that doesn’t melt away by October 31st – this year it arrived almost a month early. I’m not quite ready for Winter, logistically or mentally, but it’s here anyway so I had better get everything in order in the next few days....
