Most awe-inspiring wildlife I’ve seen in its natural habitat
This topic piqued my curiosity because I have seen a lot of animals in a lot of places. Bears, elk, moose. Beavers, deer, prong horned antelope. Whales, dolphins. Porcupine, grizzlies. A lot of animals, all in their natural homes. So how do you pick just one? Well, if you’ve read my site a while, you’ll…

Three things I am grateful for this year
Gratitude should surround us but sometimes, it gets lost. It isn’t always easy to find, or it is hard to see that gratitude doesn’t have to be big or flashy. Something as simple as being thankful or appreciative for the sunrise or a hot meal is a way to see gratitude in our everyday. Earlier…

What I love about winter (despite the cold)!
Despite the fact I say ‘I hate winter’ everytime I get cold, I don’t really dislike winter (generally), though I am not crazy about being cold.

Since forever, I have wanted to see caribou in the wild. The problem is caribou are a threatened species and are very hard to find. However, year after year, I have tried to seek out the woodland caribou herd that resides in Jasper National Park. Now, there are four herds that live in the park,…

50×50: Number 15 – Visit a new province
Canada is a big place. 9.9 million square kilometres (3.8 million square miles)! It is made up of ten provinces and three territories. The newest territory, Nunavut, coming to be in 1999! Sadly, I have only visited a few of these areas. Alberta, where I live, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Ontario. Until 2023… When I…
