The white crap just keeps falling. I’ve never seen the likes of this in the Yukon – we just don’t normally get a lot of snow. At our city property, the piles are over 8 feet high and there’s no room to put any more, so this morning I...

I went down to Canadian Tire yesterday, thinking about buying a snowblower – shovels just can’t keep up with the white crap this year in the many places that my truck-mounted plow can’t get to. What did I find instead? The front of the store is jammed with barbecues,...

I often see what little value many people place on their family’s history, and today I have the pleasure of showing you the other side of that coin. A collection of photos shot on a cruise and land tour of Alaska and neighbouring regions in the 1930s has now...

We had another moose drop by this morning. Monty alerted Cathy that something unusual was up, and she looked out the bedroom window to see the cow walking by about 30 feet away. The cow was walking quite gingerly, and I believe that she’s pregnant (calves are born between...

I enjoy seeing any wildlife when I’m out cruising, but spending time with lynx is an absolutely magical experience. My buddy Rob and I went down to Skagway yesterday for a day photo of photography, and on the way home we saw 3 lynx along Tutshi Lake (perhaps the...

Last year I worked for a few days with a film crew making a travelogue following Scottish comedian Billy Connolly on a 10,000-mile journey across the Canadian Arctic and then down through the Yukon and British Columbia. In July I took a couple of members of the crew on...
