Hello & Welcome!

My name is Jenna. I’m a writer, researcher, and photographer based in Ottawa, Ontario.

I started this blog to write about my outdoor adventures, wildlife, and issues in conservation. My hope is that it inspires you to get outside and create your own adventures.

⁣Wish I could say that I was actually planning a fishing trip to Algonquin Park. But, alas, no. 😢⠀⠀
⠀
This is my photo for week two of #kikasphotochallenge. This week’s challenge was a ‘faceless’ photo. Here is my interpretation of the map flatlay photos that have been circulating. I’ve been loving those.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
This photo took forever 🥴. Kudos to all of you who do flatlays and indoor photos, it’s not easy.⠀⠀

This little notebook encourages kids to record their observations in nature. It has colouring pages and a place for kids to record their favourite hikes and nature finds.⠀
⠀
⁣You can download and print it for free on my blog. I've also designed some scavenger hunt cards and written up some tips for hiking with kids.⠀

The link is in my Instagram bio.⠀

⁣I miss feeding the chickadees. I hear them singing on my walks occasionally, but I haven’t found a good place to hang out with them since moving to New Brunswick.⠀
⠀
Being around birds makes me feel so calm. The other day, my partner and I were watching a sci-fi horror film and the protagonist was stuck in a Louisiana swamp. The atmosphere was foreboding and music ominous, but they had the sound of red-winged black birds trilling in the background and I felt nothing but calm 😂.⠀

⁣Current mood 😴⠀
⠀
Elk are social animals that live in herds. Some herds can be hundreds of individuals! ⠀
⠀
Living in a large group means there are more eyes and ears to watch for predators and more individuals to search for food. There’s also a reduced chance of predation to an individual, scientists call this the “dilution effect.”⠀
⠀
There are also some disadvantages to living in a large group. Predators (like wolves) are able to spot elk with more ease, there’s more competition for resources, and disease can spread more easily.⠀
⠀
For elk, the advantages of living in groups have outweighed the disadvantages.⠀

⁣Happy to have this little memory of me and Moose. I couldn’t ask for a better dog. He’s come so far in such a short amount of time. Training a puppy is hard (for me), but so rewarding! Moose has endless patience with me and I’m grateful for that.⠀
⠀
This little adventure dog is having his first birthday soon!

⁣Cut up my Christmas tree and hung it all over the living room to take this photo. 😂 Can you tell?
⠀
I’ve been in a funk for taking photos lately, but @kutovakika started a 12 week photo challenge and it sparked my interest. Her photos are super creative and maybe you’d like to try the challenge as well.⠀
⠀
This week’s theme was childhood and there’s not much I liked more than tromping around the forests as a kid. I guess, some things never change.🌲🌲⠀
