We have just arrived home from our autumnal Algonquin Park adventure! Here’s the highlights, set to a song I composed called “When All Is Won”.
But first: my funny woodcock video is making people smile lately. Enjoy!

September and October Algonquin Park Adventures
I made a video compilation of my two Algonquin Park trips in September and October! We were lucky to see a variety of wildlife and have some very cool encounters. The music in this video was written/sang/produced by me — if you like it, check out my youtube for many more songs!
An Autumnal Algonquin Adventure
Willow and I went to Algonquin Park, as we like to do, in late Fall when most of the leaves have already turned and come down from the trees. This time of year has the benefit of fewer people in the Park (the colours attract a lot of traffic), and also the magical ability to see deeper into the forest while we drive, looking for moose. We saw otters playing, a curious mink, moose aplenty, and were complete sated with the joys of nature. We took A LOT of photos…these really are “just a few”!
A Different Algonquin Park Adventure
Sometimes you just don’t see the moose! But I saw so much more, even while not seeing any wildlife. This time, Algonquin Park let me see myself.
Willow and I went down Hay Creek Road in Whitney several times, because it’s like a private bit of the park. It’s quiet up there in the hydro-fields, and we walked along a road not often used. The next day we went again, and I saw our footprints were still there. But now, they were joined with the tracks of many animals who had walked with us, albeit separated by a little span of time.
So I walked down that road again, looking for my prize: the track of an animal that had actually stepped right into one of our footprints. I didn’t know if I’d find anything or if the photos would be meaningful to anyone other than myself. But I did find exactly what I was looking for. And that is what Algonquin Park always gives me, moose or not.
