I realized that it has been over a month since my last posting. Lots have happened since we returned from Arizona back in March. At work it was the dreaded year end annual audit but in actuality it was pretty painless. I was only back in Cambridge Bay for about a month then it was back down south, this time to Yellowknife for shoulder surgery. I am about 2 weeks post op and the shoulder is coming along, still with some pain but the physiotherapist that I saw 1 day post op said this would be normal. He also told me I can't drive for 4-6 weeks, pick up the Nikon for 6-8 weeks, drive a quad for 6-8 weeks and full recovery should be around the 8-12 weeks. So in other words many things that I love to do I can not do for now...thankfully I still have my little Panasonic that I can use with my right hand to take pics.
Before the surgery I was asked to do a couple of shoots, one for a 'save the date' and the other was a anniversary/baby announcement. I am starting to get a wee bit more comfortable in photographing people but I still get nervous before the shoot. Here are a few of my favs.

Jane has these baby kamiks so we had to include
them in the photograph.
Prior to my surgery we had the whole weekend to explore and shop in Yellowknife. We went out for some fine dining and took a long hike to Cameron Falls only to be disappointed that the falls were still frozen. It was still a nice hike with the dogs on a beautiful spring day in NT.
There is a mining outdoor museum in Yellowknife so we explored the area a bit and took some pictures of the old trucks which they used. There is also a sailing club next to it where we had to stop and take a couple of pics of the boats.

After my surgery we flew into Winnipeg where we stayed at our friends place Sandy and Keith for a couple of days before we drove to Carman to see my mom. We had Sunday brunch with my school friend of 30+ years Angie and her family and it was great to catch up and of course laugh at the silliest things. We also had the chance to explore the area to take a few pics, lots of opportunities to run the dogs and of course evenings of playing Gin Rummy.
This old farm house was begging me to take a picture of it
I had some fun editing this pic of the dogs on the railroad tracks near my mom's
Gorgeous Manitoba sunsets
Hard to find the old elevators now and so glad I caught a pic of one

From Carman we drove to Winnipeg as the dogs had a vet appointment and we return on Monday as Miss Molly requires an ultra sound as her liver is not happy. Hopefully it is just due to the medications and nothing too serious. We then headed to Lac du Bonnet to visit with Craig's parents or also known as Nana & Papa. Other than the wood ticks on the humans (maybe we should of taken some preventative) we are having a lot of fun and relaxing here. Today Craig's sister Laura and her family, his Auntie Diana & Uncle Gerry and Auntie Margaret and Art will join us for a traditional LeBleu Saturday Hamburger Dinner.

I love Papa's wood pile so I had to photograph the dogs
in front of it.
The sign on the truck's window says it's a 1943 Chevy and
selling for $2000.00 - now how to get it back to CamBay with us. lol
I asked Craig to stop so I can take a pic of this old barn
just outside of Lac du Bonnet. It is owned by the Mackintosh
Family and it is very cool.
Well I will close for now as company will be arriving shortly and Blitz and Molly needs to go outside for a romp in the water.
Talk soon!
