Just one reason among many why I have never even glanced at Threads. I'm entangled with FB and Insta in ways I'll have to figure out eventually. But what do I need ANOTHER news-blocked platform for?
Happy New Year
The Yukon is magical this time of year. Every day for two weeks we have gone hiking or skiing, only once venturing into town out of necessity for groceries. Otherwise it's been just the three of us sauntering in the woods with moose, mule deer, wolves and snowshoe hares.
Last fall, I attended the premiere of a film that meant a lot to me. In late January, all of its hundreds of planned screenings were canceled without explanation. For @defector.com, I went digging:
The tundra and trumpeter swans have returned to the backyard. I love this time of year.

Found a melanistic arctic ground squirrel while birding this weekend. I don’t need to fly to outer space to know the earth is worth protecting.
Juniper bumped into a lynx while sniffing around in a red squirrel midden. Joon stayed still/quiet as the lynx arched her back and growled. I called Joon back to the trail and we watched the lynx bound away. Teaching Joon to stay calm around wildlife took time but absolutely worth it #lynx #yukon
The ducks have arrived to the little salt marsh in my backyard, north of Whitehorse. Counted 80 mallards, green-winged teal and northern pintails

Love your pup and the environment? Keep your furry friend on leash in restricted areas and steer clear of shorebird nesting areas, for starters. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Good morning Yukon.
It was a good day to spend in the mountains, disconnected from the madness of these times.
It’s only Wednesday but already Juniper and I have enjoyed so much beauty on our daily jaunts.
Cabin life north of 60 can be pretty sweet.
