The most incredible aurora in decades!

This is the fourth post in a row about photographing the aurora borealis, but it will be the last one for quite a while. The posts have been about progressively better displays, but there’s nowhere to go after this one. I haven’t seen any reports from scientists yet, but...

A day-trip to Kluane

On Monday morning (February 12th), I had just gotten home from a session with my osteopath and had started making brunch when I got a message from a friend that said simply “It’s clear blue skies all the way to the junction.” Being one who often takes hints quite...

Monday, September 6th, was our 5th day away from home, our 4th full day at Congdon Creek Campground. I started the day just before 10:00 by taking Tucker with me for a drive to photograph mountains and whatever in the gorgeous sunshine. Our first stop was at the Slim’s...

A 9-day mental health break at Kluane Lake: Part 1/2

Cathy and the dogs and I got home Friday night (September 10th) from our best “staycation” ever – 9 days with the RV at Congdon Creek Campground on Kluane Lake, with no cell service or Internet access. I’d had about all the covid and politics I could handle, so...

On 2 wheels – outings with the e-bike and the gas-bike

On Tuesday and Wednesday (May 4th and 5th), I made two rides that were significant in my life. On Tuesday I did the longest ride yet on my new e-bike, just over 30 kilometers. And yesterday I did a 504-km ride to Kluane Lake on the V-Star – it’s...
