Finding the Path

Finding the Path

Our forest path had been groomed beautifully for years by my dad. He originally cut the trail on his own with his chain saw. With the trike and his little red trailer he would venture into the bush and haul out the trees that he cleared from the path. The trail took...

Losing an Earring in the Forest

You know the saying "It's like finding a needle in a hay stack" right? Well losing an earring in the forest is very much like that. If you look down at your feet while taking a walk down any forest path what do you see? Assuming it's not winter of course because...

The Sound of Trees

The Sound of Trees

I wish I had a recording of some of the trees I've heard squeaking in the forest. At first I was quite startled when I realized trees could make these unexpected noises. Leaves rustling in the wind I understood but the creaking and squeaking sounds didn't make any...

Deer Stands in the Forest

Deer Stands in the Forest

Looking up at the tops of the trees I'd always look for nests or bee hives but sometimes the trees held other objects. I started to notice wooden platforms that were nailed to the tree trunks and wondered how on earth those got up there. During our walks we would come...

Watch out for Wood Ticks

Watch out for Wood Ticks

Oh the lovely wood tick. Luckily they are not year round in Manitoba but when we near spring I can't help but think of those dreaded ticks. A walk in the bush is not as simple as it sounds during this season. You must consider what you're wearing and constantly be...
