Great photo, Diane. You have such an impressive array of wildlife around you. Having said that, I'm still waiting for your definitive Sasquatch snap.

Amazing little creatures. I read somewhere that they can build lodges that are up to 700 yards in length. Incredible.

Apparently, Freemasons can do that too.

I read a really good book a few years ago, it had a bit with a Sasquatch family and was supposedly based on a true story. "The Long Walk" by Slavomir Rawicz - you might enjoy it too.  It also has a bit with a bear.

We’ve been in Canada for a week. Really enjoyed it and the weather’s been mild and sunny. Visited Montreal first and are currently in Quebec. Sadly having to start our journey home tomorrow. Haven’t seen any moose or Diane.

Pleased to see the interest in my post. Have been home now for several weeks.

I was interested! Although, I'd have been more interested if you'd bumped into Diane riding a moose over a beaver dam.

I was loving the saga! The suspense between your posts was killing me.

The moose saw your post.

I'm confused. You're saying a family of mythical North-American Sasquatch were holidaying in the Gobi Desert, Tibet, or the Himalayas in 1941?

You saw parts of Canada that I have never seen Nige!

We in northern Alberta are under snowfall warning (up to 50cm) and that is on top of the snow we already had and already cleared out the driveway last week. I have a plan to spend the day tidying up and Christmas decorating. I am one of those oldies that have CDs of Christmas tunes so that of course is the first step in a decorate plan, blasting Bouble.

I am still playing Pokemon, been trying to get a Shiny Wooloo (black sheep) for three months so was happy to catch one last night at the Santa parade. You may think this is odd but there is a whole Facebook group called "Old Ladies Playing Pokemon" so I am not odd by myself.

Hope everyone is starting to feel a bit christmassy
