My previous blog was about the shorebirds in their gorgeous breeding plumage that make their way to Churchill, Manitoba.

As we approached the Thor Diesel Owners Club Rally I managed to carve out a day and a half to work on some images. Something I haven’t managed to do since the end of May – which is REALLY bad. But essential timing as I head to Anchorage tomorrow morning for a Moose & Northern […]
