These purple flowers are called Dwarf Fireweed, as I learned on Clare's blog yesterday. Here is a closer look.

This place is so beautiful
What you can't see are the HOARDS of mosquitoes! I didn't want to spray the baby with deet, so I sprayed the area she was sitting. I know, not really environmentally friendly to spray a bunch of beautiful flowers with bug spray. We could only shoot in one spot for a few seconds and then we had to move. Although there are numerous quantities of arctic mosquitoes, they are as slow as zombies. This gives you a chance to stand still for a few seconds before you are swarmed, then you can out walk them and be clear for a short time before they catch up again.

oh my gosh, these are beautiful photos. Of both the baby and the scenery, AND the fireweed, which is my very favorite flower ever. Just beautiful.
Oh Jen these are beautiful. Ezri looks so beautiful in the purple flowers. Great shots
Awesome shots. What a great memory of your "last" summer there!
Wonderful pictures. I think these may prove to become some of your absolute favourit shots of Ezri and the scenery.
I love these!
I LOVE the second last one. Sooo cute!
Wow!! Those are wonderful shots.
number two and number four, winners!
Sigh....I wish I could take photos like that.
Very nice.
beautiful! i am not sure if you can get them up there since when i was in Arviat, i got Frank to get it for me in Iqaluit. Its lemongrass.
in iqaluit, its sold in bottles and when the kids were under 2 y.o i took a few lemongrass (the white part), blend it with water and put it in spray bottle and spray them with taht instead. the mozzies stay away and i dont hv to worry about putting too much on them since it wont hurt them and it smells tons nicer than deet.
Oh Wow Jen
these pics are so great. We didn't have those flowers up in Grise Fiord. You are just like me..dressing your little girl to match the scenery. Love the lavender dress with the flowers. I recently dressed Lila-Grace in a strawberry dress and took pics of her in a strawberry patch!
