Weekend Moments in the Great White North

So we've been up in Kuujjuaq for one week now, and I'm learning to appreciate its subtle beauty. 

There's something about the barrenness, the cold quiet, and the solitude that is refreshing and rejuvenating in its own way.

I love all your pictures, the barrenness definitely has its draw. We have similar low scrub plantlife and berries here!

Not much of a fan of the cold...buuuut these photos make me want to jump right in! :o)
Plus as a fellow Canadian, I suppose I'm kinda used to the darn cold! hehe

Beautiful photos! I've never been up north in Canada. It's a shame ...now that I don't live in Canada, I want to. Isn't that always the case?

Sweet blog!

I'm now following your blog - Rambles with Reese

p.s. I forgot to add, I love the photo of the Canadian flag just sitting out there all alone - it reminds me of strength and independence.

Great photos- I'm so glad you shared.
Although I won't lie and say I hope to visit there one day I do enjoy looking at the solitude of the landscape.

We watched Into The Wild last night and truthfully the barren landscape scares me.
I would prefer the solitude of a dense forrest.
I wonder what Freud would say about that?

Have a good one!

These photos are totally lovely and kind of dreamy. Makes it look like there is nothing in the world worth worrying about just being in the world is enough.

I absolutely love these photos. They're splendid and beautiful and free.

Just came back from a trip to the prairies. The air was so crisp and clean. It was wonderful.
