Beautiful winter

When there was this much snow in the woods, where even deer, moose or caribou would not venture, River jumped right in and made her own “road”. A ski resort had to close one of its runs because moose were using it as the ski runs were a lot easier to walk on for them than the deep snow that had been falling and falling this winter here! :) As for me, well, I have a really good pair of snowshoes so I’m “floating” on top. :)
-
One shall not be fooled by the crisp deep blue sky – yes, it was gorgeous but it was -35˚c whether or not my friend Ted believes it (he never does anyway as he seems to think Canada has become a tropic region after he left). :) River didn’t mind it at all though – the only “tracks” on the photo are River’s. Sometimes she left HUGE whole body tracks because the snow was so deep. I think she is preparing herself to live with the wolves on the tundra! :)

Just before a snowstorm the fog was trying to “block” the sun but…. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park

After another big snowstorm, this is how many places look like! :)

This image was taken from a steep hill at the highlands of Algonquin Park in Ontario (the famous wolf park where over 200 protected wild wolves call home – it is still legal to hunt, trap and kill wolves here in Canada unfortunately). Although I was stepping in deep snow at -35˚c, this “far shot” gave a “false” sense of spring. :)

This is taken mid-morning after River and I ran into a HUGE moose after we got on a little path called “Camp Pathfinder” and followed the BIG footprints of a moose. There was so much snow that the moose literally sank to her stomach while walking. The poor thing was so heavy and had so much trouble dragging her feet from the deep snow and then sinking them in just as deep again. :( River was being a particular “brat” that day as she showed off by jumping and running circles around the giant moose and yet the gentle giant didn’t seem to be disturbed at all.

When I gave the title to this photo, I could just imagine Ted’s disbelief: “Oh, silly Terri,” he’d write, “It can’t be deep freeze. It must be late fall or early spring even though ALL weather channels say it’s early March and the average temp that day was -35˚c. They must ALL be wrong, wrong, wrong…!” :) :) :) This was taken the same day with the photo of “camp pathfinder” in Algonquin Park – my favorite wilderness park to date. :)

Shot was taken evening of 12th March 2008 just after the bad storms

My new friend Chad brought me to see George’s farm at Barry’s Bay, in the hope that he’d talk to me about wolves. After Chad got his Mercedes stuck on the muddy-icy-dirt road on the way and we all piled up in my “River crowded” 4×4, we arrived to a “George-less” farm. “He must be getting maple syrup ready in the forest,” Chad was finally ready to give up after a few loud yell of “George! George!” and only to meet the delightful little farm dog of George’s charging near. :) This is the top part of George’s completely solar powered farm house. :)
-
Just before darkness arrived at Park Voyageur, the edge of the forest almost gave a “sinister” feeling. :) Or, if one is more hopeful, one could say that it is meditative or “eerie”. :)

The sun just got up at beautiful Algonquin Park, where River and I had been running and hiking for more than two hours before the first light. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park

While Chad and I couldn’t find George at his farm, his sheep and a couple of lambs were there to greet us. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park

After the snowmobiles passed by with what in her eyes must be “lightening speed”, River got on the trail, thinking that perhaps she could absorb some of that residue running power of the “loud beasts”. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park

We met this coyote in the woods and River and the “stranger” became instant friends but after a few hours, River still couldn’t figure out whether or not the “bigger dog” was a dog…. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park

Just before the last light disappeared and darkness dominated the forest, River and I enjoyed the almost “warm feeling” of the sun shining through the trees. However River discovered a little fawn at the “deep end” of the woods just after I took this photo (the dark and far end in the picture) and yelled at me to follow her to see her friend.

Jacob and I are in this YouTube video! We were at the MACC, The Maui Arts and Cultural Center in Kahului here on Maui where Jacob was displaying his beautiful tropical flowers of Hawai’i photographs for sale along with many other talented local Maui artists and musicians. 3rd Annual Maui Ukulele Festival 2008 Shafts of afternoon sunlight and near-vertical beams of crepuscular rays and prismatic colours illuminate the valley above Kahakuloa Village Maui Hawai’i The population of this lovely remote village is about 100 people. This is true Hawai’i, where many of our Ohana and friends live, in particular our dear friend “Kupuna Richard Ho’opi’i, his beautiful wife and their Ohana. Kahakuloa is a beautiful place where the Aloha spirit and Hawaiian culture thrives and the people are stewards of the land, actively practicing and perpetuating ancient Hawaiian traditions, culture and customs of sustainable farming and fishing, responsibly managing land, water and natural resources. Kahakuloa Stream flows through this valley where it meets the Pacific Ocean at Waihale Cove in the bay on the right just outside the frame in this image. On the Hawaiian Islands, Kalo, also known as Taro is a traditional staple, as in many tropical areas of the world, and is the base for making poi. There is also a beautiful Loko i’a, “The Hawaiian people practice aquaculture through development of fishponds (Hawaiian: loko iʻa), the most advanced husbandry of fishes among the original peoples of the Pacific. These fishponds are shallow areas of a reef flat surrounded by a low rock wall (loko kuapa) built out from the shore. Several species of edible fish (such as mullet) thrive in such ponds, and methods were developed to make them easy to catch. The rock walls, being somewhat porous, let in seawater (or sometimes fresh or brackish water, as in the case of the “Menehune” fishpond near Līhuʻe, Kauaʻi), but prevent the fish from escaping. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved “Crepuscular rays, in atmospheric optics are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from a single point in the sky. These rays, which stream through gaps in clouds or between other objects, are columns of sunlit air separated by darker cloud-shadowed regions. The name comes from their frequent occurrences during crepuscular hours (those around dawn and dusk), when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious.” Atmospheric Optics Information Source “The trade winds are strong at lower altitudes, fresh and invigorating after having traveled over thousands of kilometers of open ocean. The warm moist air blows past Kahakuloa, rises and condenses against the West Maui mountains in a thick cloud, so thick that the forests beneath look black. The peak within the clouds, Pu’u Kukui, receives about 988 centimeters of rain each year, making it the third wettest place in Hawai’i and ranking high among the wettest places on earth. A volcanic dome lies at the end of Kahakuloa Stream. Kahakuloa is at the mouth of the stream, Mount ‘Eke at it’s head. ‘Eke is a thick, steep sided dome with a flat top looking like an upside down cupcake. The dome rests on three flows of trachyte, each 320 meters thick.” Geological and Historic Information Source: Will Kyselka and Ray E.

Alaska North Star Winter Scenics / From my collection: / Same Music ~ Different Station ~ Variation on a Theme Happy is he who can know the world’s origins ~ At the Outer Edge “Neither today nor ten times ten yesterdays, / in my backyard or in the tents of squalor that seem continents away; / neither at searing noon nor soaring midnight, beaten by the wind or bewildered at sea; Not ever, anywhere, has God’s omnipotence been hesitant about supplying good, / or constituting law, / or being All. Mind’s movement moves the universe; / Soul’s absolute precision marks no lapses, moratoriums, or negligence, / not now or then or sometime when ... Nothing has ever interfered with His eternal seeing, or with Love’s reality, / including man. / Including me. There is no dreamer of exceptions to His infinite control.” ~ Poetry by Darren (Stone) Nelson A Suspended Silence ~ Where the Wild Things Are Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain.
