River and I ventured out in the woods one day and I got stuck in the deep-icy-snow. While we were waiting for the tow truck to come from 70 km away from the nearest town, River took me for a little walk and we came by this lone leaf on top of the clean snow, untouched by “humanness”. :)
-
The buck was patient with my camera as he wanted to make sure I got his best portrait but he was losing patience with me as he had been standing still very long, from the corner of his eye, he was watching as though wondering how long he had to keep still like this! :)
-
River mistakenly jumped into a “deep end” of a “snow valley” when we were in the mountain last week and it took her more than half an hour to climb back up!
-
River was waiting eagerly for her friend the coyote to approach. They then ran away together for almost an hour, leaving me wandering in the woods by myself on my snowshoes! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park

River loved this lone boulder in the middle of the forest. She ran around it until she got dizzy! It was a bit difficult to climb to the top of the hill with my snowshoes (the boulder is kind of the “midpoint”) but when I finally did it, River and I shared some peanuts under the crisp blue sky in the COLD COLD air (my car says it’s -32˚c down the hill but of course my dear Mooseman Ted would not believe it). :)
-
River finally struggled up her deep “snow valley” and was proud to pose for the camera! :)
-
Hidden in the forest and facing a big lake in the deep snow, sits my “dream house” in the Laurentian Mountains. :)
-
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. :)
-
It’s St. Patrick’s Day here in Montreal but no matter how you “slice” it, it’s still winter here, not that I’m complaining. :)

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

This was taken at Combermere, Ontario (Canada) just after the first light. 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.
