Strong Together | Begin Ontario, 2022

The blizzard blocks my view. At the intersection of a snow road and a snowmobile trail, I notice a black spot in the distance. When I get to the trail, I realise that it is a lynx! I lay down on the ground and wait. Suddenly, a small lynx comes out of the wood and joins him, then another and another and another! To finish the parade, another adult sits with them. I have a total of six lynxes in front of me. They see me, but don’t move, I wait, and that’s when the small clan starts to walk in my direction. The lynxes float on this soft snow
