Hey Interweb, so I'm half way through my north land adventure and so far I have seen a total of 5 moose, that being one cow with a baby and another cow with twin babies (so maybe it is three in a half if you only count babies a half a moose lol). No bulls to report however. Although I probably just miss them every time I drive by a moose jam (a moose jam is alot like a traffic jam, but there are people stopped on the side of the road and driving super slow to see a wild animal not some horrible act of city traffic). I've also seen two bears and one deer. There are supposed to be alot of wolves around right now too but the closest I have come to getting to see a wolf is fresh poo. Also there have been cougar sightings (!) which is pretty darn sweet. And birds of prey - very exciting.
Ambition has its costs and I'm very busy with my projects but I wouldn't have it any other way. So signing off from the unpredictable weather of hasting/algonquin highlands! See you b-dot kids this weekend ^_^

During Heat waves Road Kill is Like Barbeque for Scavenger Animals
Today is was feeling like well past 40 degrees, the sun was beating down hard, and I was chasing butterflies! Very fun I will in no way put down the awesome that is catching (or if you are a fool like myself and can't catch, photograph) butterflies. The only down side, super humid heat and a shit ton of deer fly.
Deer Fly... ugh. Everyone goes on about how the heat will kill off all the bugs, and that they aren't so bad this year. Tell that to my epidermal tissue, it is not believing. Why wont those bastards die by the sun? I'm taking an antihistamine to keep from scratching like a crack head, but I look like I have a flesh eating skin disease! So not cool, and the worst part is there's nothing I can do about it. They are immune to bug repellent!
So I don't mind the hot, hot is pretty sweet, it makes swimming epic! I just can't get away from the deer fly :(
That's all for now, except one more thing, Rodney the Cat is super Cute, photos to follow at some point. Also some butterlfy pics
