NATURAL HIGH

I am a farm girl from the Prairies. Alberta to be exact. Maybe that is where I caught the nature bug. There is so much peace, joy and fun to be had spending time out in nature, no matter the season.

Take for example, heading out to check on some little great horned owlets you’d spotted, only to hear something creeping through the bush. You’re afraid this is the day you might die, only to discover that it is merely a ruffed grouse that has fallen in love with your giraffe-print boots!

The amazing sights are endless. Driving along the road, you suddenly notice a flash of orange—you’ve come upon a fox den and one little guy even wants to pose for you! Then there is the rarely seen long-eared owl that looks just as surprised to see you as you are to see it. Migration is a wonderful time to partake in more discoveries, such as spotting a massive flock of snow geese.

When your friends know about your passion, you tend to get phone calls that go something like, “The deer are in the peas. Bring your camera!” Or as another friend proclaimed, “I’ve got an owl in my chicken coop, come over!” That time I captured a pic of a cute little northern saw-whet owl.
