Hunting mice and voles, this fox is listening intently to movements under the snow. I love seeing all the fox tracks to and from our traditional dens on our Manitoulin Island property. #nature #foxes #naturephotography #manitoulinmagic #EastCoastKin

Picnic tables with several feet of snow on top.
Just got back from one of the toughest snowshoeing trips Iβve ever done. Had to break trail the entire wayβ¦boy am I sore, but I found us a picnic spot if youβd like to join me!?!!
Orange and yellow tulips sit in a silver pitcher on a dining table with stained glass floral windows behind.
Yet another snowy day to face as I look across Lake Kagawong, but tulips in the dining room brighten up my life in so many ways! #bloomscrolling #tulipsTuesday #flowers#EastCoastKin #stainedglass

After the storm..... breathe it in. A moment of stillness where the land exhales, untouched and sereneβnature reminding us how beautiful calm can be. #manitoulinmagic #EastCoastKin #photography #manitoulin
It was -34Β°C here yesterday morning. Let's see that would be .... -29.2Β°F. Definitely too cold out for my pets!
It's bitterly cold.
I am holding a baby goat in my arms. The kid belongs to a farmer friend and I am smiling.
With all of the angst in the world right now, I am calming and celebrating my version of "Hug a Kid" day. β€οΈ and enjoying the beauty of the aurora borealis photos that are being posted from Europe and Canada. #northernlights #hugakid #photography #EastCoastKin #farmlife
