Canadian Thanks Giving Weekend

This year Tanks Giving in Canada was Monday October 13th. I drove to Hay River to spend it with some friends there. When I arrived in Hay River which is where the Hay River reaches the Great Slave Lake, I was surprised to see how there was a lot more leaves on the trees and things were generally not as "wintery" as where I am.

Still the fall colours were out

One of the best things about Hay River from my point of view is the lake. I love going for walks along the lake shore.

But once Thanks Giving was gone,  but before I left, I woke up to this and delayed my return home for a couple of days so I wouldn't have to drive on sloppy wet and half frozen snow.
