an icy world
On Sunday, we did our fun photo shoot with some of my knitting. I haven't even put the items in my Etsy shop yet and a friend has put in an order for one of the hats after seeing the pictures--so I guess I picked the right models for sure! ;)
I've been meaning to post some shots I got a few weeks ago when my brother Caleb was visiting. We took him up to Yellowknife and the sun on the Deh Cho bridge and the ferry (at Fort Providence) was incredible! It had me wishing for a real camera (and for temperatures that didn't kill your batteries after three pictures...)
On Saturday, Kev and I went snowshoeing on the lake and it was a simply beautiful day. If there's wind, activities on the lake can be not-so-fun, but the weather was perfect. We tromped out to edge of where the ice first froze, which usually has a big ridge where the waves smashed up the freezing-up edge, but this year it froze relatively flat. We saw that there was a secondary pressure ridge further out, but it was all concentrated in a single area- so we had to go check it out. Again, I wished for a serious camera. Ice is so cool! (No pun intended. Seriously.)
While uploading these frigid photos, I am baking a cake and making (wild) bison meatballs for a Hay River version of Italian food, and feeling smug and cozy in my warm house.
So enjoy your day, wherever you are, and don't believe that lie that winter can't be fun!
