Killarny to Superior OR Rocks and Trees

The next day, we went on a hike on Chikanishing Trail, which gave us some great views of Gerogian bay, and demonstrated perfectly the rocks and windblown pines in the area.



Me (without a camera in my hand for once, but only cause I lent it to Mike) with the Cloche mountains in the background

A hawk (possibly a Broad winged, or maybe a Coopers?) I chased down in the woods




Looking back at these photos, it reminds me of an Arrogant Worms song about Canada that we heard on the radio driving up to Superior called "Rocks and Trees"

"Although we don't have history
Gold medal winning teams
Heroes or prisoners
World famous volcanoes
Still what we've got's glorious
'Cause we've got Rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And water"

True that.

Lake Superior Camping trip, day 1 Killarny Prov. Park

Hello all,

Finally, another opportunity for some great photos! Its been a while. Mike and I went on a week camping trip around the East side of Lake superior. Our first stop was Killarny provincial park. We left TO around lunchtime and arrived there in the evening, with enough time to set up the tent and head to the lighthouse to see the sunset. The scenery was beatiful and the light was perfect for a few good shots. Here is one of Mike enjoying the lake

I like the way the water in amongst the rocks reflected the sky so nicely

A gull gives me a fly by



The suns angle was perfect for this shot, making the rock looked like windblown sand


The sunset that evening was nice, but was over very quickly

I will post the hike at Killarny tomorrow
