Spring in the Arctic
Spring is here...kids on bikes!
There are definitely signs of spring with the lengthening days and unbelievable sky as this early April sunset at 7:30 PM 
.warm spring weather brings out the bikes and fun on the ice. 
This past week or so has included both solitary and social activities:walks, skiing, good food and gatherings with other health center staff and community feasts,
in which I sampled raw frozen caribou at hamlet feast as well as frozen arctic char. 
We were given a tour of the new health center
to open summer 2010 shown here with some of my colleagues, 
and had breakfast goodies when one social worker was leaving... 
she was the same one that found the puppy in the van overnight, so her gift was a stuffed puppy.Really seemed to click with on of the nurses,
we were often walking buddies. here on her last day.Walking up behind the hamlet on Good Friday afternoon..
view of Pang from hike behind town, I followed skidoo trails and used set of poles.Beginning of hike in local park. 
Large boulders and skidoo tracks produce a totally different world cold and silence.
On hike back down large boulder with town and fjord in background. 
Easter Sunday morning took a walk on the ice here looking down the valley,
sky was clear and an awesome day! 
Looking up at some houses from the ice. 
About 1:30 PM just after Easter Sunday service
which was 2 hours and mainly in Inuktituk.
Easter dinner at NICs house was scrumptious.
or Sunday evening about 6 PM.
