1		Wendy Broekx	Caribou, Autumn Colours & Aurora	2011-11-09
		The autumn Caribou trip was my second to Canada but my first to the "Barrenlands" and it certainly won’t be my last! Having never seen landscape ... view more like this was certainly an experience I will not forget. The wildlife was amazing and I felt lucky to see such variety. I was greeted with a much needed steaming hot cup of tea to warm my "freezing" cold body when I arrived at the camp and within minutes my blood was pumping and I was ready to photograph! After exploring the area and feeling renewed from all the fresh tundra air I was blessed with the most beautiful sunset. I was so excited and couldn’t wait to see what else the amazing Barren Lands had to offer. The next day Steve took me hiking. After learning a great deal about the amazing plants and the animals I encountered my first Caribou. I was so excited I could hardly breathe. He showed me how to "Dance with the Caribou" so I could get a bit closer to get a few photographs. Wow! It was awesome! Even the nights had something to offer – my first ever sightings of the Aurora Borealis –something we don’t see down under in Australia. Every day offered something new – Snow Geese, Rock Ptarmigan, herds of Caribou, Canada Geese, Sandhill Cranes, SicSic, Arctic Hare, amazing lichen and moss, even yummy berries. Well, everything except Musk Oxen: They seemed to have disappeared. But on the very last morning I was woken to be told that they were slowly moving in towards our camp. I have never jumped out of bed so quickly. I couldn’t believe my luck. We photographed them from our campsite until they realized they would have to go through the campsite to continue on, so they turned around and headed off in the other direction. By the end of the trip, I felt like an expert at dancing with the Caribou and even mingling with the Musk Oxen.
