#RavenScent

You know Ravens have a distinguished particular odor like dogs have, which everyone enjoy so much; so…

During the nesting period, Diane has to leave us for about 5 weeks and Jack, her life partner, has to provide her with all the food that she needs while incubating the eggs.

I love them both but Diane is the first one I’ve meet and the bond between us is strong. During that period I really miss her.

So what I do is just open this big jar, which is full of their body feathers, which I’ve picked up from time to time, and take a big smell out of it.

And if you have no idea what the smell of a Raven is? Well it’s like an amazing “méchoui” roasted outside over a wood fire; or like some kind of aromatic incense fragrance smoked like “Nuit d'Opium”.

#AtlanticPuffin

Encounter with an official pair of Atlantic Puffins, symbol for the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, while on our way to visit some friends.

Even if the Atlantic Puffin has a large population with a wide range, this species declined rapidly resulting in it being rated as vulnerable by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).

What helps them is that colonies are mostly on islands, with no terrestrial predators.

#QuitSociety

That moment when you quit society and… give it all up. Remember?

#WinterActivities

So this is what happens around here during a normal Winter day in, The Laurentian Mountains Range.

Miles of walking trails, snowshoeing, ice skating games, snowmobile, dog sledding, outside thermal bath, outdoor fire pit grills with drinks and friends… And whatever you’re up to.
