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...

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...
