Moose in Algonquin Park

The Spirit of the Wilderness

We spent a week in the Algonquin wilds of Northern Ontario. It was beautiful with light dustings of snow and we drove down every road we could find, searching for moose. Finally, we discovered that one particular campground in Algonquin Park was full of moose tracks, and after spying a moose in the trees at dusk, we decided to come back at dawn. We were not disappointed. We came across a mama moose and her calf off in the distance, and we cautiously began to tromp into the woods to get a clearer view. To our complete amazement, these stunning creatures did not move away as we expected. We approached slowly, and something very unusual happened: the mama and calf casually lay down in the snow, aware of our presence but completely unbothered. We continued to approach with respect and caution as they chewed their cud, looking utterly relaxed.

The whole time, as we navigated the thick underbrush covered with snow, I spoke softly to them and sent out my best energy and love. I spoke blessings, and when we found a log near them to sit on, close enough that we could hear them chewing, I watched the mama moose and she gazed at me. I felt a deep connection and the entire experience was so otherworldly that I could only whisper, “thank you, thank you.”

Meeting Beautiful Animals in Algonquin Paradise

I cannot express just how beautiful this trip to Algonquin Park was! So I’ll let my photos do the talking.

Mink on the Veranda!

Willow and I were just talking about not going to Algonquin until Spring, and as if to give us a gift, the Universe brought a mink to our veranda! It’s been hanging around for a couple hours now.

Spirit on Our Algonquin Journey

We made it home safely from another trip to Algonquin Park. This time was very different and full of surprises. Unbeknownst to us, the park was undergoing serious construction on the only road that crosses it (Highway 60). Naturally the park doesn’t warn its visitors of this, but it was a real pain due to single-lane delays. Since our favourite activity is driving up and down the highway looking for animals to photograph, we decided that spirit and the universe were trying to tell us to try new things. Luckily the wonderful ladies at our little motel told us of a very secluded road in Whitney, where we were staying. It was a real treat – technically part of it is in Algonquin, and during the roughly 6 hours we spent there throughout the trip, we only ever saw one person near the beginning of the road. So it was like a private Algonquin just for us.

Not only that, but the road was absolutely full of bear poop, wolf tracks, moose tracks, turtles, frogs, and other wildlife. It also had some of the best views we’ve ever seen. When we went up at night we saw two moose and I nearly cried, as it all seemed so spiritually right. The next day we went back, saw the moose again, and we were able to get a photography session in too.

During this trip I gained new spirit guides and learned to have such faith in things turning out for the best. It was absolutely lovely.

A Meeting of Souls

There is a very friendly fox in Algonquin Park who spent some time with us this week. For a while he just lay down in the sand a couple feet away from me. I could almost feel his soul singing.

Another Visit to Algonquin Paradise

We’re back from another journey filled with animal sightings, wolf howling, and glorious nature.

So Tired. So Happy.

Another Algonquin trip — lots of new experiences, including a wonderful moment with a pine marten.
