"Elusive and Fearless: Ottawa's Sanctuary Reports Escaped Medium-Sized Wildcat - A Dire Warning for Pet Owners!"

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has issued a warning regarding the escape of a medium-sized wildcat from an animal sanctuary in Bonnechere Valley, Ontario. The sanctuary is located approximately 130 kilometres west of Ottawa. Authorities are concerned that the African serval cat could pose a threat to livestock and pets. The incident was reported to the police and members of Provincial Animal…

East Ontario: Ottawa Valley & North Bay

Left Montreal reasonably early for a 3 hour drive out of Québec & back into good ol' Ontario to visit the Bonnechere caves at Eganville in the Ottawa Valley... apart from people no longer speaking French, it feels as if suddenly the roads are much busier with more careless driving.... even though I'm a long way from the GTA, it feels more like home! 😝

A visit to the caves had been a long-time wish of mine, but it's too far from the city for a day- or even a weekend trip so excited to finally be here! To my surprise, the tour started with an explanation of all the fossils that have been (and are still) found here in the caves and riverbanks, as the limestone preserved many specimens of brachiopods, gastropods and other invertebrates from the Ordovician period before the fishes evolved. Having had extensive geology courses at university, I always love learning about fossils and although I probably only retain a few % of what's mentioned, by attending tours anywhere I go, I've built a reasonable understanding over time! 😃

The tale of how the cave was explored (in the dark and under water) provided a funny back-story to the tour and although the stalactites/mites are tiny here (growing one inch every 150 years), it was cool to search for & find little fossils in the cave walls. Lunch picknick next to the river topped off the visit!

My next stop was at Shaw Woods outdoor education centre where there's a trail through a stand of old growth forest. The maple trees were incredibly tall but the presence of too many flies put a bit of a damper on the hike... as someone suggested to me later, all these bugs should have died by mid-July but perhaps they came from Québec escaping the smoke there 😜

After having failed to find a patio on the Pembroke waterfront, I bought sushi, salad & beer from the grocery store and sat on a bench at the marina overlooking the Ottawa River. I like it when public parks are used; first there was a yoga session attended by some 100 people, followed by a line dancing class in the gazebo. I was content doing nothing for a change 😁

The next morning, I went to Canadian Tire for an oil change and tire rotation; having driven more in 7 weeks than I usually do in a year with still long ways to go, I thought it wise to keep up the maintenance - better safe than sorry 🤩

Thereafter, I was off to another highly anticipated activity; visiting the Barron Canyon in East Algonquin. Algonquin is foremost known for all its lakes that dot the provincial park, but in the east a river has carved out a canyon through which you can paddle! I first did the little hike along the cliff tops, which was actually a bit unsettling as it's really high & steep and there are no safety guards whatsoever... I'm a big girl who knows to stay away from the edge and not afraid of heights, but I must say I was glad to move on & get going with the paddling!

The put-in was quite far away; 4.6km paddling plus a 420m portage around some rapids so it took me two hours to get to the start of the canyon, but I was happy all along the way, simply enjoying the scenery. It was the first time I portaged with my SUP in the forest, so that was quite an experience but easier than feared! Once in the canyon, the sun came out briefly, so I took my time eating a sandwich and admiring the high walls! 🤗

I should have heeded though the dark clouds that were forming, as a thunderstorm rapidly developed on the way back... despite paddling as fast as I could, suddenly all hell broke loose and even though I was only 15 minutes away from the car I really could no longer stay safely on the water and had to take cover in the woods... I hugged a big tree hoping that it wouldn't get hit & that a bear wouldn't come and that's all I could do! 😵 An experience I prefer not to have again! Once back on the board when the worst had passed (still in the rain but with less lightning), I didn't see an underwater tree branch on which my fin hung, so I also ended up swimming in the surprisingly warm river! 🤣 For the rest of the day, I sat cuddled in my bed eating chips and watching TV. 😂

In the morning, I felt ready to face the world again 👍 so had a short stop at Petawawa Point to have a look at the wide Ottawa river with its many islands. The river looked calm here, however just an hour later on a hike at Driftwood provincial park, it looked more like a sea with its waves swept up by the wind... I had put up my hood to protect against both the rain and mosquitos but I ended up soaked by the trees/bushes and badly stung anyway so that was the end of my hiking plans for the day! 😒

Instead, I had a really nice visit at the museum and Explorer's Point in Mattawa where the Mattawa River joins the Ottawa River, an important meeting point since hundreds of years for Indigenous & fur traders, later for the rail construction and now for everyone like me who travels on the Trans-Canada Highway & needs a break. 😁 On the grounds there's also this massive wooden sculpture of "Big Joe Mufferaw" who was a famous logging foreman for the Hudson Bay Company, which I thought was impressive :)

Having checked into the Ramada at North Bay with a gorgeous sunshine still out, I ended the day with a beer on the next-door golf club patio. 😊

Next day was absolutely beautiful; not too warm & no wind, so I spent a gorgeous day paddling at Restoule provincial park. Before getting there though, I had just let someone overtake me (which I often do when I want to drive leisurely without the pressure of a local behind me) when suddenly a bear crossed over the road, literally just a few meters in front of the car before me! Luckily, we all managed to brake in time without crashing but it just shows how unpredictable & dangerous wildlife can be (why did it not stay on its side when it got spooked??). There's something to be said not to be the first car in a series & better to let someone else take the risk.

Restoule's "gem" is 100m high Stormy Lake Bluff but I trusted that the view would be undoubtedly pretty, and instead went straight for the water. There are several day paddling loops suggested so I combined three of them for a total loop of around 12.5km; first into a river, then to the large "Elephant" erratic boulder left by glaciers, through some narrow channels around a few islands (for which I needed to remove my fin as it got stuck on the plant roots) and then finally in front of the bluff. I had been thinking to go for a swim but instead cooled down my feet in the water... paradise! 😎🌞

After a refreshing shower, I walked along North Bay's Golden Mile waterfront on Lake Nipissing, (finally) had a patio dinner on the water at the Boat and then watched the sun set... this is summer!

Next, I'll be passing by Sudbury and Sault Ste Marie and then camp for 8 nights in various provincial parks on the way to Thunder Bay, so there will be radio silence for a while until I can reconnect to wifi, over 1,000 km west from here. Hoping for some great summer weather! 💖💖💖

Pembroke and the Algonquin

3 days of rest and relaxation in northern Ontario taking in the lakes and forests of the Algonquin. We did travel over to North Bay on lake Nipissing and went via the Dragoons base at Petawawa but mainly this was about sitting next to a lake reading and knitting and enjoying the peace and quiet and sunshine. Although it is school holidays there are so many lakes and parks that none are really busy and we had a lovely couple of days doing very little. I did get to swim in beautiful clear, warm shallow water at Bonnechere Provincial park and that made me very happy!

haha @ihasa, I'm amused but not surprised at how may WIPs you have (even just in this subset)

i, on the other hand, don't really have WIPs. i haven't done much writing or drawing in ages. but here are some writing things that have floated in my brain and may or may not ever get worked on more:

Bonnechere: a Monster-of-the-Week game idea - (aka Throkmorton's game) - the only one I've done any work on in years

NaNoWriMo '17: Virtual Memories - a NaNo win!!

NaNo '16: Dirbyshire

NaNo '15: GeoJournal

NaNo: '08: In the Artist's Mind - the one I'm talking about when I tag stuff as 'nano inspo' on here, haha

NaNo '07': A Storm on the River

most of these are on older computers, so I don't even know if I have easy access to them. but while trying to find titles for the projects I did stumble across some bits. @ihasafandom : Can I get a snippet from Bits and Pieces?

WIP ask game! I was tagged by @gallus-rising

Rules: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

I have a lot of WIPs and here are some of them!

Headcanon : Being in relationship with Gawain

Author note : I didnt find any GIF for this gorgeous ex templar (such a shame) credits to the Channel History (found the picture on Google Image) 

Warning : Spoiler if you didn’t see season 2

Before being a Templar he goes by Audric and according to himself he knew “few” women which mean he knew how those things work 

Your relationship will depend if you met him when he was a templar or when he leaves the order 

Templar! Gawain tend to not care about woman which mean : he won’t take time to know you if he does not help him for a mission or for the Graal’s quest 

he has no business with womens and unlike Landry he respects his vow of celibacy

it doesn’t mean he can’t be attract by a woman though

so yeah both of you met by chance : it could be another woman or not him but it happend 

you were beautiful at least for him : he never saw someone like you before

and he felt it  : he knew at the very minute you two start talking : Gawain knew you were troubles 

and still he stayed here talking to you while his brother accomplished their mission

he couldn’t help but being breathless at your sight 

when the business (the mission) was over you two has to separate from each other 

Gawain couldn’t stop thinking about you 

so he must talk to his brother probably Tancrede

he was so tensed when he starts to think about you

Tancred teased him so much : he couldn’t blame his brother, he knew how it felt to be in love 

So he advised him to forget you 

he obliged

he took time but then you were on a very special part of his heart which didn’t stop him from templar’s business

but you still appear in his dream : not very catholic dream if you know what I mean 

he dreamt about you a lot 

he couldn’t forget about the way you smile or the color of your eyes, the way your voice and laugh sounded like music to his ears

but the two of you won’t meet again

then he has left the Temple 

he was lost, completely lost

and when he thought he’ll be alone the rest of his life, you went back in his life 

it seems like a miracle cause you were there at the very moment he felt lonely 

Gawain will take that as a second chance and will try to seduce you not knowing about what’s about to happen in the future… (see * for next part)

Now if you’ve met Gawain when he left the temple : you two got to meet in an inn 

you saw him fighting against this giant man 

let’s say you were impressed

not because he looks absolutely handsome without a shirt 

there were this aura around him you felt like you have to talk to him 

at first he took you for a prostitute 

not in bad way : he just saw a gorgeous woman on a bar looking fighters, so he thought you were something like a reward to take

and take you he will 

when you realized the misunderstanding you just slap his face 

and he was like : wow. Not moving mouth open a hand on his cheek. He never met a women like you before 

you fixed the situation by telling him you wanted to talk. Then teased him about his way of seduce woman. which turn him on but won’t tell. No, he definitely never met someone like you before. 

both of you shared a drink and talk 

nothing happen that night but he was quite happy 

Because he felt the electricity in the air he knows something was happening : He’ll meet you again. And he will be ready 

same for you : despite this incident, you thought the man was quite charming a bit harsh but you didn’t mind 

so it became an habit for both of you to meet in the inn : you enjoying seeing Gawain half naked fighting and him enjoying your presence 

After everything, he was glad to be close to someone. Because no matter what he said, Gawqan felt it : the loneliness. He couldn’t be more thankful to meet you

The two of you were a “thing” : he didn’t feel like get married and quite honestly doesn’t know what to do with his life

he was broken man and need to rebuilt his life

He couldn’t just go back to Bonnechere : he didn’t know if his family will recognize him. Or if he still had a family. 

But then De Nogaret found him and proposed him to go back into King Philippe’s army *

which he gladly accept cause it was the only thing who matters to him (with you of course) 

also because he wanted to kick Landry’s ass 

you knew this man was trouble (you knew something was wrong about him) but you also knew how broken Gawain was 

So if it was the solution so be it 

you still didn’t trust de Nogaret (he didn’t care as long as you didn’t get involve in his plan)

you two didn’t see each other as much as you wanted to 

because Gawain has a lot things to do : train soldier, missions 

plus he started being obsess with fighting Landry 

which De Nogaret used it at his advantage 

you two started to argue about it : you were angry he was neglected you while all he has to say was how ungrateful you were. 

Being the stubborn man he is, he won’t let you win the fight 

so you tend to being cold at his each other for a while

until he got arrest for betraying the king : you were so scared. 

Not having time to talk cause he was in jailed and you having to hide for not being arrested as a partner in crime : you have to leave Paris quickly 

When you saw him on the stak, you were heartbroken 

crying screaming 

him looking at you with tears on his eyes 

really thought he was going to die without telling you how much you mean to him 

For once he wished there were some justice to help you : he couldn’t just give up on you

Then Templar organized their runaway : you two were on the boat to runaway from Philippe’s anger 

So you two have finally the second chance to start a new life together

A Week in Northern Ontario

A Week in Northern Ontario

This past October I had the opportunity to spend a week on the road and see a lot of Northern Ontario that I have never seen before. Here’s a small glimpse into some of my favourite moments.

Our first stop was Bonnechere Caves, where we learned our first lesson to call any and all places you want to visit when it’s the off season and not rely on Google to tell you what’s open! Ha! So we took a…
