Aurora on the last day of August
We had a chance to watch the Northern Lights in the early morning of August 31, 2024. It wasn't as spectacular as some of the previous ones I had witnessed but I am always mesmerized with this phenomenon.

Plains Bison at EINP
Elk island National Park. December 30. 2022. After spending some time enjoying the hoar frost we started to head back to the city. Then we came across this single Plains Bison ( Bison bison bison ) digging in to the snow to find some food. What a gorgeous scene it was! Elk Island National Park has been a refuge for both subspecies of North American Bison - Plains Bison and Wood Bison ( Bison bison athabascae ) since the mid sixties. Bisons are North America's largest mammal species. Millions of them once ranged across the continent from Alaska to Mexico and were an important resource for indigenous peoples who lived on the plains. The bison against the late afternoon light. A close up.
