Last kicksled ride of the season
Isabelle Dubois took this photo Saturday afternoon while out on a kicksled ride with her two huskies on Tasirlaq Lake. “It was probably their last ride of the year, as the snow was getting wet and heavy, even on the lake, and getting scarce in some places on the land. Not to mention getting a bit warm for the dogs, especially for my big fur ball of a male (left),” she writes. (Photo by Isabelle Dubois)
