Winter Wonderland

Hi all.

After a recent storm, I went snowshoeing to my happy place here in Nova Scotia.. It was absolutely beautiful, images cannot do nature justice. Breaking trail over hill and dale is hard work, but definitely worth it. Being the first person to make tracks and travelling through an area is also a special experience. Who needs a gym? 

Checking for tracks, and imagining the stories they wrote in the snow is sometimes better than seeing the critters. It's also a good way to inventory what species are in a given area, where they travel, bed down and eat. So much happens in nature that we never see. Squirrel tracks, and mounds of cones stripped apart to get the seeds, Otter slides, Rabbit tracks, and the inevitable Coyote and Bobcat tracks hunting them. 

All in all a great day in the woods, time for another one!

Cheers,

G

 

I'm Back

 

Hi all, after a hiatus and failed attempt at adulting am back at photographing and posting.  

Society is getting faster, attention spans are getting shorter, so I am going to do what I always do. Which is - do the opposite. Am going to focus a bit more on storytelling, about my experiences in the outdoors and with wildlife. Every day is different, especially when one slows down, and moves quietly through the forest. Sitting quietly by a lake, pond etc. is a great way to see wildlife. Water is life.   

Getting to know one area intimately is also great. I know most of the species, and where/when to find them in my secret spots, winter or summer. Seeing the cycles of the seasons, and life is also special. 

That's it for now, just a quick check in. 

And remember - Have Fun!
