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
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...

Animal Tracks
As early as I can remember I've taken notice to tracks left behind by the forest animals. Most noticeable when left in fresh snow and alongside the forest trail in the mud. Dad was the best at figuring them out and we had a book on all the tracks from animals in...
Some Forest Fairy Love
Happy Valentine's Day Faeries 🙂 I made this little poster in honor of this lovely day. Of course I wish everyone love everyday but today is a great time to make it just a little more special. I photographed these leaves August 2013 in Blarney, Ireland while visiting...

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
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...
Squirrel Bridge Trees
Riding through the forest on the trike we would often encounter fallen trees usually after a storm. Dad would yell out "duck" and make sure we didn't get bonked on the head from these low hanging branches. We encountered these trees so often that we came up with a...
