  • Let's go to the dark side together for just one hour!

    For anyone that hasn't signed up or wants more info yet: http://www7.earthhourus.org/

    Join me in this very important Worldwide Event. Everyone turn off your lights, electrical appliances -yes, even your computer, on March 29 @ 8:00 P.M. (for one hour) no matter what Country your in. It's about us, our World, and most important Global Warming. Get your candles ready!

    Now some areas in the north may not be dark by 8 PM but it is the principle.

    These shots are of the river valley at sunset earlier in the week about 8 PM, when I was walking with the dogs and climbed some steep stairs near 109 ST. We get incredibly beautiful sunsets in Alberta and I was caught by the changing light as dusk approached.

    You can see the general panorama here looking west and the framing in this one bush.
     

    Caught an LRT train as coming over the bridge just below the High Level bridge

    in this view looking east.

       

  • Edmonton Oilers

    Not an overly avid hockey fan, but caught the game last night on TV, in which the Oilers lost to the Colorado Avalanche 5-4 in overtime and a shootout, thus placing them 6th is the west...no place yet in the playoffs, which was a hope that had been revived in recent games here in the city.

    Reminded of this shot I took in early January of an Edmonton Oilers logo on  a kamootik in Repulse Bay and how hockey is such an essential sport in the hamlets of Nunavut.

About me...

An Albertan & Canadian, definitely a northern gal. Social worker by profession, this blog has included some of my work over 10 years in Nunavut from 2002 on. Passionate about slowing down & taking time to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors or kindness in relationships as gifts & blessings; injustices against children in situations beyond their control; my faith; Nature, experiencing the outdoors whether cycling, walking. x-c skiing or gardening, my dogs, capturing on film God's beauty, experiencing life intensely & with the senses, richness of late afternoon light, wind in my hair cycling with my dog on a beach road, couching inches from an arctic flower or alpine lichen to capture it with my camera, insight of a student's new learning, a good conversation over a coffee.
