Today we debut a new column in MuskokaStyle: SNAP CHAT: THE STORY BEHIND THESE WILDLIFE PHOTOS.

Catching Muskoka wildlife on camera is a tricky thing. You need patience and calm, an enviable camera, clothes that don't swish. Photo duo Heather Truscott and Cheryl Nicholson of are learning by doing.

Friends since childhood, the pair spend their Muskoka weekends walking the woods, paddling the lakes, hiking the trails. Algonquin. Arrowhead. Muskoka Lakes. They stop, wait, listen. When they spot a deer or a special bird, a groundhog, a chipmunk, they raise their Nikons and shoot... in a kindly way.

Stop by often. MuskokaStyle is updated regularly with new pix.
