on the cliff

When Mom and Dad were here at the end of July, the weather was still fairly summery, the bugs were still out, and the sun only set for a few hours a night. Today, the sun sets just after 7 pm and rises slightly more than 12 hours after that. The skies are cloudy most days, and the temperature sits at or just above zero, dipping below that throughout the night.

While winter is definitely approaching, I'll share some pictures from a walk I went on with my dad up on the cliff behind our house.

I can't even explain how beautiful it is here. Even the pictures don't do it justice.

The Coppermine River 

The airport...

We have hikhiks all around town (ground squirrels).

This is all going to look very different in about a month and a half.
