Last Years Whale

Not much left of the whale now.

Folded Rock

Rocks are neat.

Waterfalls

The big falls in the background and the little falls in the foreground.  The little falls is about 2 meters heigh.  The water falls are impressive this time of the year because of the spring runoff.  They were very loud.

Nice shot of the big falls.  Wish it had been sunny out.

The water is slowly drilling it's way through the rock.

I was told a person couldn't get to the falls yet.  Never challange me.  That story later in the week.

Park Landing

A plane landing at the Cape Dorset airport.  The pilots have to come down between two hills to get there.  I was lucky to catch this one landing while playing at the park.

Inukshuk

Find these all over the place in Cape Dorset and I enjoy finding the occational new one.

This is a new addition to the park.

Rare Treat

I won't tell you how much this dish of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries cost but it was good.  It's so rare to get fresh fruit it's like candy.  Just add milk or creame and a spoonful of surger.

First Flowers of the Year

The first flowers I've seen this year.

Dead Dog Lake

Ottawa Earthquake

Seems there is some excitement in Ottawa today with a 5.5 magnitude earthquake happening. Got an email from my brother who works in Ottawa and the reports are starting to come out on the web news sites. A copy of his email is below.

"We just got hit with a 5.5......Lost 14 lights in my office. All cell phones are out. One of the old brick buildings 200 meters from the drill hall basically exploded into the street, whoever owned the Mercedes parked beside it isn't gonna be happy. I'm taking the afternoon off."

Sounds exciting but hope no one got hurt.

Telik Inlet Ice

All this ice in the Inlet is broken up now.  I'll get a photo of the broken ice on the blog if it stops raining for a couple minutes this week and if it doesn't blow out before then.
