In which winter takes a couple final breaths, and then relents…

In which I travel to Hanoi, Vietnam, and see my grandson for the first time…

In which I brave the bitter cold, and relish the sweet frosty light…

In which I brave the howling winter winds…

In which I find drama and warmth in the snow…

In which I venture into the frost, and the four stages of autumn…

In which I explore farms and beaches and back alleys, and contemplate the change in season…

In which we endure squalls, and enjoy paddling…

In which I revisit a farmhouse, enjoy the Canadian Shield in Ontario, and wander the city…

In which we bag pretty postcards, and explore new and old stomping grounds…

In which we explore melting lake shores and the annual resurgence of life…

In which we revel in inclement weather…

In which we explore a small part of northern Vietnam…

In which we explore inclement weather, and a mountain…

In which we enjoy the rich fall colours, and the inevitable seasonal turn…

In which we explore the inside of a storm, and its aftermath...

In which we canoe through the northern Minnesota...

In which we mostly avoid mosquitoes and wander nearby city streets…

In which we transition from winter to spring and catch the early birds…

In which we wind down the winter…
