I’ve been in Ottawa for about two months, renovating the condo we own in order to rent it out, and never intended to stay this late in the year. I still have to drive west across the US, back to Oregon to start renovating our new house there. The snowfall gives a swift kick in the butt to get on the road, and a little anxiety about what it’s going to be like driving through the mountains.

Small mock inuksuit are built by travellers and displayed on the rocky edges beside Hwy 17 in Eastern Ontario, particularly west of North Bay. Those in the shape of human forms are “inunnguaq”, historically built by the Inuit to help herd cariboo. I built one of my own too, but it’s not as easy as it looks! Next, Lichen amass on shoreline rocks along Lake Superior, Ontario, the largest freshwater lake in the world.
