Hi! to all those folks who check here periodically and Welcome to those who might have discovered this site by accident. I'm sorry that my New Years Resolution didn't make it much past New Years.
It's been a bum start to the year with two heart episodes sending me to the hospital. But at least now everything seems to be working fine. Work has been busy and that has kept me going and allows me to pay those pesky bills month after month.
I've finally started using Facebook (Ron Lang mailto:dutchie1944@hotmail.com) and have begun to put some of my photos of the Yukon out to the public. Overall response has been good. Many of the viewers have not been able to get out there to see the beauty which is ours for all to see here in the North. Those of you who are down south have already begun to see flowers blooming and leaves on the trees. Here, our trees haven't even thawed out enough for the sap to flow. Some tourists have even had the opportunity to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) when they go out at night. For them, this is the reason for them to come to the Yukon at this time of year, not too cold, but still dark enough to enjoy the aerial display of nature.
As I write this blog tonight, I'm at work and not on my own computer, so I am unable to add some photos of the things which happen up here in the north. BUT, if you check out my Facebook page, I have uploaded photos of the beauty of the Yukon, the 2010 Yukon Quest, and some of the big and small animals which share this land with us. I will also be adding some photos of the flora which surrounds us here every year, our Provincial Flower, the Fireweed, and many of the different varieties of colour producing plants which grow here in the Yukon. Also some photos of the snow sculpture from our winter carnival called, Rendezvouz.
All photos presented are those which I have taken personally. For more pictures of places where I have not been, I refer you to alaskastockphotos.com . Almost anything you wish to see about the north, has been photographed by someone somewhere and all that's necessary is to walk your fingers across the keyboard to access any of it.
I will close for now and I hope everyone has had a super Easter weekend. See you soon.
Et pour mes amies francophone, je va essayer de explique ce que j'ai ecrive avant. Je vous dire que je suis photographe beaucoup des places dans le Yukon, et j'avais mis beaucoup de cettes photo sur Facebook. Iles sont de tout chose, les montagnes, les fleurs et aussi les animeux qui s'passe ici. Rendezvous, et les sculptures de neige, aussi les chiens de la Quest de Yukon, un voyage de 1600 kilometres de Fairbanks, Alaska justque Whitehorse. Gardez bien et fait tu un comment pour moi S.V.P. Au tantot!
