Fox Creek - Day One

Now that I've been back for a few days and have had a chance to get caught up with everything, it's time to work on the photos and tell the story of our trip to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT. It was, of course, a long journey, so it will take me several posts to go through it all. It was a fun adventure, and I'm excited to look back on it now through the photos.
I didn't get a chance to do the photography I'd imagined. Our days were long, and so adding stop time for photos didn't feel like a fair thing to do with my family.  One day, when it's just me and the husband, and we have more time, I would love to do this trip again, specifically  with photography as the focus.
But I did get some nice shots worth sharing and they should give you an idea of how beautiful Northern Canada is. 
Our first day, we travelled to Fox Creek, 1069km from home. It was a long day, but we were eager to get to the Yukon by Day 3. We were gone for a total of 15 days and put on about 9,000km, so this was quite a chunk of it, but it was very easy travel, with great highways and weather.

    You took some great photos like the sunset. I love looking at pictures and already wrote on your Day 3. You know, I think of you every time I look at the earrings you sent and have worn all them often

A Blog Event That Caught My Eye

This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway. A stone necklace with various findings. All findings are silver plated and it has no clasp because it measures a long 33 inches. I can not wait to see what everyone else is doing.

Snow Day!

Image
It has been a wonderful, drawn out fall.  I've enjoyed easy walks around my yard well into December, and more time outdoors than I usually get during these first two winter months. This balance between indoors and outdoors is essential to keeping me feeling good.  I hate being cooped up in the house for too long without a breath of fresh air.  It makes me tired, and I'm a grouch when I'm tired. Yesterday, Old Man Winter decided to correct his oversight in our corner of the world, and deposited between 6 and 8 inches of snow.  It looked light and fluffy, but it was actually very dense and it took a lot of work on my husband's part to tidy up the driveway. The prairie I walk in out back was so completely whited out, it seemed as though I was getting nowhere, even though I could clearly feel the muscles in my legs straining to get me through the snow.  It is actually quite dizzying to be looking at nothing but pure white and trying to move forward.  I had ...
