It was a nice winter day driving along Highway 28 to Strathcona Provincial Park, so I decided to make a quick stop at Buttle Lake to enjoy the scenery.
That’s when I saw the Strathcona Snowgirl.
She tried to scare me away by hiding her eyes and nose – a clever ruse that would send most people packing, but I was born on Vancouver Island and know the ways of Snowgirls.
I waited quietly and soon enough, she showed her nose and eyes.
It’s moments such as this that demonstrate why it is important to get out of the car, and quietly enjoy nature…
