My day is never complete without being outdoors and taking photos of wildlife, no matter the season. My husband, Mick, and I took an early retirement, he from a career in law and me from a wonderfully fulfilling career in education. I often took photos of my kindergarten students during play, as well as of family members, but never of wildlife.
Upon retirement, we moved from the Niagara region to the small town of Dwight, Ont., in the Muskokas. Our home was on a small private lake in the country, which was quiet, relaxing and very tranquil. Luckily, there was lots of wildlife to keep it interesting. I spent hours outdoors walking the trails across the road and snowshoeing them in winter.
