Aurora Borealis
Since Lianna has arrived in Fort Albany we have been staying up late in hopes of glimpsing the Northern Lights. Its difficult to predict when sightings occur but usually on a clear night and with some luck you can see them dancing overhead on the Northern Horizon. We missed them a week ago but crossed our fingers that she would get another chance to see these surreal light displays. The Northern Lights are at the heart of many Cree myths and legends with many people believing if you whistle at them you will be carried away to the heavens. Needless to say we got lucky and got to see a moderate display around 11 o clock. Its almost impossible to see them under the lights of the town so you have to be somewhere there is no other light, of course that makes photographing them extremely difficult but i did get this poor quality shot.
Polar Bear in Fort Albany?!?!?
Okay so its not a polar bear but it might as well be! We found this puppy outside of the Fort Albany Grocery store and had to bring it in to play. Unfortunately he has no home and no one to take care of him. This is our dream dog but with long term travel plans in the mix it is not an option for us to take this guy in and it would impossible to leave him behind when we leave. He has a personality of a relaxed golden retriever even though he is still just a pup. The dog already seems to have some tricks down from some of the hospital staff who have been feeding him scraps. It really breaks both of our hearts to leave this dog to its uncertain future being a street dog in Fort Albany so if anyone knows of someone looking for an amazing dog we could make arrangements to get him to you.

Introducing Puppers
This dog doesn’t have a name so everyone calls her ‘Puppy’, but since there was previously a ‘Puppy’ here I call her ‘Puppers.’ [Read more...]
Happy Valentines Day!
So I made it to Fort Albany a few days ago and have been eating ever since. Valentines Day was no different except that we decided to photograph it!
We had a yummy dinner of rack of lamb and cookies for dessert.
