What's New

As Halloween draws closer I've been reminiscing about Halloweens past while I look forward to seeing my niece and nephew head out to go trick-or-treating. Here in Vancouver, it seems to rain pretty much every year. It's perfect, really. The wind lashing the trees, leaves blowing here and there. It's dark early enough that the house lights glow invitingly. Lots of people go all out decorating with pumpkins, skeletons, and gravestones and the streets are busy with cute little monsters and fairy princesses. "Trick or treat! Trick or treat!"  Growing up in Edmonton and then Calgary it was either pretty chilly out or...

Africa has the great Wildebeest migrations. The far North has the Caribou herds that make the ground tremble beneath their hooves. Here in BC we have salmon runs, one of which we were priveleged to witness this past weekend, at Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park on the Adams River. Every year sockeye salmon return, sometimes in the millions, to spawn and die in the rivers and creeks they left years before. As they travel upriver, they undergo a remarkable transformation: they stop eating and their scales are reabsorbed into their bodies, they turn bright red except for their tails and head that...

What a summer! Here in Vancouver, BC we have been enjoying an extraordinary stretch of clear and sunny days. Just a couple of weeks ago, on July 29th, it was the hottest day ever recorded in Vancouver at 33.8° C! A glorious summer! And we have been out there, making the most of it, hiking, biking, boating, kayaking and camping. Just last weekend we went on a "beer walk" to check out all the new craft breweries in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. It was baking hot and I have to admit that I did not wear my PF socks. BUT my dear...

You suspected it all along, didn't you? A fellow who lives far up North where it's cold most of the year, who works a lot outdoors, likes to wear red and whose belly jiggles like a bowl full of jelly when he laughs...well of course Santa wears Polar Feet socks!! Santa loves his Polar Feet fleece socks and wishes that we would also make reindeer socks. We explained that we couldn't figure out how to make them stay on. Santa said he'll have his elves look into it. Wonder what they'll come up with!  We at Polar Feet wish all...
