This is archive footage from January 11, 2011, recorded on a Sony Digilife DDV-H71Z during a deep mid-winter stretch.br br Bundled in full winter gear — snowmobile suit, goggles, and ski mask — I take a light-hearted walk around the property I was living on at the time. Everything is frozen, white, and quiet. I stop at “the drain” — a frozen ditch that becomes a surprisingly serious obstacle — pass an old hunting blind, and carefully cross without falling in.br br Along for the walk is my husky Luka, playful as ever, following close and turning an ordinary winter moment into something memorable.br br No narration. No lesson. Just a snapshot of life, winter, and place — exactly as it was.
