I’m always on the lookout for articles about, and photos of, great beaches – and there are lots. Condé Nast Traveler has just posted “Great Beaches of the World: Italy” so it looked like a good way to start this snowy day off. The first thing I checked out...

It’s always interesting to see the Yukon show up in advertisements as a background in various ways. Doing some shopping online this morning, I came across Canvas People, one of the biggest companies in the turn-your-photo-into-canvas-art business. Their home page right now (see the screen shot below) features a...

This has been the sort of day that you have to just laugh about. The forecast called for snow flurries with about an inch accumulation. What we got was fairly light but steady snow for hours, with about 2 inches in Mary Lake and almost 4 inches in the...

I was looking for a drink last night to celebrate the arrival of the first pussy willows and what did I find but a Yukon Pussy! Seriously – Google it 🙂 It’s very simple, and I’m heading into town to get the ingredients shortly (it’s snowing right now, but...

Yesterday morning, Cathy and I boarded an Air North Boeing 737 for a flight to Calgary. It was a beautiful day to spend a couple of hours over the mountains! The window beside me was distorted, but by risking a neck dislocation I got a few photos through the...
