A newborn baby lies on a bed wrapped in a light blue blanket. Two adults sit nearby, one on each side of the baby, with their hands gently resting near the infant. Another child is visible in the foreground, reaching toward the baby. The setting appears to be a cozy home environment with a wooden chair and household items in the background.

It is a beautiful misty morning in #Yellowknife. A good day for watching dew glisten off of trees turning to autumn. This is my favorite time of year.
A silhouette of a house and road curving into the distance. The whole scene is covered in mist. The sun is visible as a giant white ball in the upper right center of the image. The overall tone is yellow Grey. Autumn leaves of orange and tye dyed looking green / yellow against a blue sky with light white clouds scattered.

#Camping in the #NorthwestTerritories is unbeatable for views like this #Auroraborealis under moonlight in Wood Buffalo National Park. The eerie call of the whooping crane playing in the ponds below casts an ethereal vibe over the park.
A blue night sky, taken around 9 pm at night 45 minutes outside of Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Aurora borealis over Salt Plains, wood buffalo national park, amid the moonlight. In the left hand corner a group of campers has a bbq and takes photos of the expanse beyond.

What is it like living in #Yellowknife ?

Imagine the delight of being woken up by a strutting raven setting off your #Google Nest doorbell proximity camera.

Cute bird. They are much bigger than crows and very smart.

..it knows exactly what it is doing. 😴 😕 😌

It's 5'oclock somewhere, but I guarantee the walk home isn't nearly as cool as seeing a ribbon like this burst over your head of #auroraborealis .
"The image shows a stunning display of the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) in the night sky. The vibrant green and faint purple lights create swirling patterns above a silhouette of tall pine trees. The sky is filled with stars, adding to the beauty of the scene."

The north is often pictured like this barren snowy desert. But we actually have a growing season that is far in excess of other places. Behold, my flowering #rhubarb plant.. I wanted to see how large it could grow. Near 24 hour daylight in the summer makes for #gardening weather in #Yellowknife
A leafy rhubarb roughly 7 feet tall in total with a giant white flower above. A white RV sits to the right, with a brown house in the background.
