The park is being softly covered today in a thick blanket of  new snow.   

When it snows like this,  a  hush falls over the park, and we take the opportunity to curl up in front of the fire with a good book and a cup of coffee as the snow piles up outside.

In the wee small hours this week we had a front row seat for a spectacular show of Northern Lights.  A barred owl called in the background.  It was just one of those special times that make us realize how much beauty surrounds us here, day and night.  Occasionally we can hear wolves howl and that is an even more thrilling treat.

There are lots of deer;  a family of three visits us each day.  The foxes are very healthy looking now with luxurious fluffy coats.  We saw a silver fox this week.   They are a black version of their red cousins, and have a white tip on the end of their tail,

Every day at the feeder  is a  "colourful" day.      The chickadees at the camground next door are extremely friendly and "swarm" us looking for our hand out of sunflower seed.  Great place to get pictures!

Winter is wonderful in the Whiteshell.  Come and see for yourself! 

From our "wild life' to your's,
