The Yellowknife Houseboat Community is located on Great Slave Lake, off the shores of Yellowknife. It is home year round to several families. They access their homes during the summer by boat and during the winter they access by driving a car or snowmobile across the frozen lake. During the autumn freezing and spring thaw of the lake, transportation becomes difficult as the ice can not support the weight of a car and can not be passed by boat. Photo was taken in late June 2021 under the midnight sun at 12:30 in the morning. The date stamp on my camera is still not set.
Love em or hate em, turbines are here to stay...most would say great, as long as they are NIMBY (not in my back yard)! You can see my back yard way out in the distance, the furtherest peak.
I trust all my flickr friends are travelling ok.
Our local government has announced our coast will become a part of a dinosaur trail. Our community has over the last month started to progressively add to a driftwood sculpture during it's covid lockdown. I think the dinosaur theme is looking pretty solid. Stay safe everyone
Although I did a tiny bit of "tweaking" in PS, I was really quite surprised to see all the different coloured bokeh I was able to get with this series of spring blossoms.
The school was first... 1878, the church was next 1907).
This is one of several churches in my village... there is a Church of England church in its own grounds.... this is the Methodist church... the building is shared by the Salvation Army... they work together... up the road there is a church whose meetings are held in the YMCA building...
In my view (purely a personal view)... On Portland, as our faith fails and changes, the churches come together. They are part of the community that already exists and central to my mother's generation.... the churches grow by focussing on the needs of the people regardless of faith.... I do not know whether their numbers grow... but they are part of our community first...
Nova Scotia is comprised of many small communities that have built around the sea. Fishing has been a way of life for many on the east coast of Canada, particularly in days gone by. It is not uncommon to see small wharfs with a few boats in rural communities with small populations.

A thriving group of Common Bonnets (Mycena galericulata) covered a thick fallen tree branch all over. This is a widespread species of fungi belonging to a big Mycena family. The genus name “Mycena” originates from the ancient Greek work” mykes” meaning “fungus”. The scientific epithet “galericulata” comes from the Latin word ‘galer’ which is be translated as ‘helmet’ or ‘hat’. If you compare its small cap with the length of the stem it sits on – it is indeed an elegant ‘fungus with a small hat’. Their appearance also reflected in other names like the ‘helmeted high-stool’, the ‘togue mycena’, and the ‘rosy-gill fairy helmet’. A rosy colour refers to the tint of the gills these fungi could develop when aged. Beechwood fungi. Lansdown near Bath, BANES, Somerset, England UK.
Thank you for your visit, favours and comments, much appreciated.
White Ibis (one brown juvenile), Great Egret, Cormorant, and one unfortunate crawfish, in Ditch H, the western boundary of Fort Bend Levy Improvement District #2. The ditch has since added 40 feet to its water level, and dropped again. Not sure how those rocks—probably scrap concrete—came to be here. The current is never enough to move them, and the nearest natural lithified material is exposed 100 miles NW and buried here thousands of feet deep.

I spent this past week riding my bike on the "Tour de Nebraska," a 216 mile route through the beautiful sandhill region of north central Nebraska. Minimizing weight meant taking the lightest camera I had, my iphone. We enjoyed the wonderful prairie, oak savannas, and ponderosa pine forests of the region, as well as the Niobrara River valley.
The ride was given the impromptu title "Headwind Tour" as we battled the wind most of the way, despite doing a loop. We also coped with a couple of rainy mornings, but the temperatures were mild compared to the expected norms.
This scene was around 20 miles into the final day's ride, with a rest stop at the Sparks General Store. The morning rain and clouds are clearing out, though the wind was picking up out of the southeast, the direction we were headed.
