Winter Nature Walk with SuperForester Heather!

Hello SuperForesters! Today I went for a little nature walk on the Ottawa River Parkway and I thought I’d share my experience with you! This is especially for those of you in parts of the world that rarely get to see snow and ice :)

I decided to test my video skills on this one, so please be patient with me as I hone my filmmaking ability to be less Blair-Witch-like. Also I’ve noticed that chilly weather can slow down my speech (and apparently make me speak in a bit of a sing song! Oh, the joys of listening to yourself recorded…) I promise my next video will actually show me, and not just me underneath a bunch of winter gear and sunglasses! (I’m also not quite sure why it’s such a blue hue…but I’m new to this video thing!) Also, I was a bit hasty to explain that Family Day is not really spent with family…I am sure for many it is!

So, take a nature walk with me and enjoy your day.

I saw some tracks in the snow, probably from a dog, but look how they run in a single line, that’s not very dog-like… what animal do you think made these tracks?

For some reason I like photographing benches! At least this one had a friend to hang out with…

I came across some sculptures on the ice…

At first sight, this sculpture looked like two heads…then it reminded me of SuperForester Patricia’s handiwork, but now that I look at it again, it reminds me of the Superforest logo! What do you see when you look at it?

I loved this beautifully symmetrical tree. There’s something about winter trees that is so dramatic.

Well, Superforesters everywhere, I hope you enjoyed the photos and videos! Would you like me to take you on some more nature walks?

Wintry yours,

SuperForester Heather
