This is the most incredibly beautiful summer I’ve ever seen. Look at the weather forecast – it just keeps coming! 🙂 This photo was shot at the Bove Island viewpoint south of Carcross a couple of hours ago. Yes, that’s a 10 🙂...

I don’t always love rain, but I sure do love the rain that’s fallen the past 2 days. The forest fire smoke is gone and the flowers, especially the lupine and Labrador tea on our property, are going crazy. I was getting very paranoid about fires, despite the fact...

On a scale of 1 to 10, today rated 11 – it was incredible. The temperature hit the high 20s C (low 80s F), and there were no clouds, no bugs and no wind. This is the day I’ll dream about in the middle of our next winter –...
