Gull River

This just from the archives from last fall. Felt like there was so much potential of some fantastic fall colours again like last year, but the weather put a stop to that pretty quickly. Sunny warm days were far & few between - it seemed to have always been damp, cold & overcast.
I have been busy with working out the details, organizing workshops for the spring, summer & fall seasons. Getting excited to find the time to shoot with the longer days approaching. More details of the workshops coming soon.

Mushers are a unique bunch. They are, for sure, the hardest working & most determined group of people I have ever come across. I think it comes down to a ‘mental’ thing…in all sense of the term.

Mushing. Living the Lifestyle.

Haliburton Highlands Dogsled Race 2010

These dogs love their job! The enthusiasm is contagious – you just can’t help yourself – you want to mush a dog team yourself, I highly recommend it. If you are in the Highland area I would check out ‘Winterdance Dogsled Tours’. www.winterdance.com
Hank Debruin (part owner & husband to Tanya McReady/Debruin, both formerly from Wolf Island ON. & Ex monster truck enthusiast) is heading up north to Alaska to race the Iditarod, a 1150 mile race across some of the most extreme, yet beautiful terrain. www.iditarod.com
Hank is the second team ever to enter from Ontario, AND, Hank will be running a completely purebred Siberian Husky team – I believe there are only about 6 or 7 teams, including Hanks, out of 70+ teams to be all purebred. It’s kind of a big deal, Hank has become a bit of a celebrity around town –www.winterdance.com/raceteam/mushers.php - it’s all pretty exciting really!
Good luck Hank to you & your race team!!
