sightings

its been a running joke-or an ongoing annoyance- that i haven't seen any wildlife since i moved up into the wild. like our backyard is a fuckin forest, and we spent 12 x2 hours along a highway of bush last weekend and the most we saw was an owl that flew across our headlights. cheap.
BUT
then
on our drive out to chapleau tuesday afternoon
WE SAW MOOSE!!!

oh hi

what a beaut. there were two actually, there's a calf behind this guy. rye saw them on the left -at moose creek haha- and we turned around and snuck up on them, this guy just stared at us for a super long time as we got closer and closer, so cool. there's a video too but dude busts us in it and turns back into the bush.

so exciting!! i saw moose. burn on you.

then i saw an absolutely terrifying giant spazzing goose in wawa. is this guy havin a bird or what HAhar. turns out there's like 6 of these fuckers there, all with different manic goose expressions. still my favourite town so far though, despite.

oh ya then on highway 11 on our way back from south porcupine i saw TWO MORE MOOSE! a mama and baby this time. i spied them this time with my untrained city eyes but i wasn't stealth enough sneaking back for ryan to get a good shot. whatever you get the idea, seeing a moose rules.

seeing a giant snowman wearing shades isn't anything to shake a stick at either.

then when we FINALLY got home and off the road we were greeted with a backyard bonfire blazing at the neighbour's next door, so we grabbed a bag of drink and took a major load off by the fire, sang some tunes, smoked some plunger and fuck if the verdict isn't living in the north country is the total shit.
