Hello
After a long demanding career in emergency care I find solace writing about wildlife and habitats; it is comforting like a warm down vest on a cold winter morning. The stories shared here are inspired by years of exploring natural environments in British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. They recount remarkable moments hiking, fishing, and camping in some of Canada’s most breathtaking wilderness areas.
I hope you will look past grammatical imperfections and find these short stories both enjoyable and inspiring, encouraging you to venture out and discover the wonders of nature for yourself. Please take a moment to enjoy my wife’s stunning photographs, which beautifully capture the extraordinary diversity and unique beauty of British Columbia’s biodiversity.
Our home is in the Pacific Northwest on the Northern tip of Vancouver Island. It is a sparsely populated area of British Columbia renowned for kilometres of rugged coast, mountain regions, valley landscapes, and ancient trees standing like sentinels. We are alway amazed exploring backcountry trails and coastline. It is beneath a canopy of towering evergreens that stories find their roots and begin to unfold.
Safe travels,
Gord Patterson
