Yours truly ...

Taken last year, photos of me are EXTREMELLY rare, passport, driving licence, medical card and that's about it! I prefer this side of the camera!
When you have to live for months on end at MINUS 15-30 Celsius, you gotta dress for it. The hat, well, I chose one made of rat's skin, what we call a muskrat actually, they're like a very small beaver with no tail! (taken by trappers who spend their winter trapping, exactly like they did 200-300 years ago, all manual, ecologic, very far from mass production!). They dye it black to make it look like expensive mink! The sides are tied on top and if untied, I can cover my antenas (ears!), the collar can be tied so that only my eyes are out in the open! All that is very common around here, well, the fur hat not so much! LOL
The Canadian flag on my lapel says I'm Canadian, and the Fleur de Lys says I'm French-Canadian.

Lookin good, Raymond!!

Great to see you Raymond. You look well prepared for the snow. I like the hat very much. I bet it keeps you warm. I understand a little about furs. My family had a fur business for almost 100 years. Now of course it's "incorrect" to wear fur hats, but that doesn't stop people from eating met and wearing leather shoes, etc. You enjoy the hat!

Hey Raymond, so nice to see you! It looks cold but invigorating and I'll bet you are toasty warm in that cool hat. I like the two pins on the jacket too.
