On that same day, reports were coming in that an older gentleman had been struck by a moose and killed in a one vehicle car accident on Highway 11 - a scene that seems to happen far too often in the north. The one I saw was peaceful, with the background of our serene wilderness embracing her presence. To my surprise, she never moved. A transport, two trucks and one van flew by... she stood still. As if she was posing for me to get that perfect shot. Or perhaps she was out to warn me? Delivering a message to drive safely upon these northern roads. These animals may be beautiful, but they can innocently cause a grave amount of danger. It amazes me how something so beautiful, so innocent can cause such damage.

If you aren't so lucky to see such beauty in our pristine wilderness, you can also pay a visit to Cedar Meadows Resort & Spa. Cedar Meadows also has a wildlife park - one of Northeastern Ontario's most fascinating attractions. Explore the depths of the wilderness, and get up close and personal with moose, bison, elk and more.
