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

A beautiful purple finch looks like someone smeared raspberry jam on his head and breast. He is sitting on the railing enjoying black sunflower seeds.

Picnic tables with several feet of snow on top.
Just got back from one of the toughest snowshoeing trips I’ve ever done. Had to break trail the entire way…boy am I sore, but I found us a picnic spot if you’d 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 serene—nature reminding us how beautiful calm can be. #manitoulinmagic #EastCoastKin #photography #manitoulin

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. ❤️ and enjoying the beauty of the aurora borealis photos that are being posted from Europe and Canada. #northernlights #hugakid #photography #EastCoastKin #farmlife
