A few of us went for another short road trip to Moosonee as well as Moose Factory today and despite it being the same road leading to the same and similar places, it couldn’t have been more different. It having snowed almost the entire way changed not only the treeline and landscape, but the driving conditions as well. Stopping for a washroom break and to stretch our legs, we couldn't help but notice this 'frosted' bush at a spot they've been using as a watering hole for the trucks.The trucks were still working hard at keeping the roads in order though and could be seen filling up constantly along the way.
Instead of multiple bird sightings, two foxes were spotted along the road on the way back. One was a very dark brown-black colour, and the other was so pefectly classic, he could have been Fantastic Mr.Fox’s twin brother (minus the overcoat and pants of course).Unfortunately for me and you both, the foxes were rather quick on their feet and this is the best, and only, picture I was able to capture of them; it's the dark one. They were already gone by the time the shutter clicked for any other attempts.
The people I was with were saying that this was a small moose, though I've only seen bits and pieces being dragged around by the neighbourhood dogs since I arrived here so I can't really say for sure. I haven't seen a live moose in several years and the chances are looking pretty slim lately.
It was another perfect weekend overall; a mixture of relaxation and productivity. I’ve discovered that adding another half cup of bananas as well as cutting the time in the oven down by a quarter makes banana bread muffins mouth wateringly moist and slightly addictive.
Ready for another week!
