• Singing Sands Fen

    Fens are wet.

    image

    So of course this path was flooded too.

    image

    And Kerri was weighed down by a hitchhiker.

    image

    And we had to dodge carnivorous plants.

    image

    And evil kidnapping plants.

    image

    They lure bees inside and then trap them and refuse to release them until they are covered in pollen.

    image

    They hang out in gangs.

    image

    Big bee-bullying gangs.

    image

    We’re sure these plants are evil too.

    image

    Although we aren’t sure exactly how.

    image

    Oh, and there were even some carnivorous animals too!

  • Bruce Trail

    The Bruce Trail is almost 900km long, from Tobermory to Niagara.

    image

    We hiked maybe a km of it.

    image

    And parts of that were flooded.

    image

    Making it confusing to follow.

    image

    But we figured it out.

    image

    Other parts are always wet, so they had bridges.

    image

    This part is always rocky.

    image

    This flower is pretty.

  • Grotto

    This is the grotto in Bruce Peninsula National Park.

    image

    This is the backside of the grotto. As you can see, it’s more of an arch than a grotto.image

    The grotto is so popular that Parks Canada has to limit the number of visitors most of the summer.image

    People like to swim around there, which is not particularly safe.

  • Wiarton in the Summer

    Wiarton looks a lot different in the summer.

    image

    You can see the full memorial, which is apparently for multiple Willies.

    image

    Willie’s home had a lot less snow, but he didn’t come out to see us.

    image

    We got to see his statue though which with all the sun clearly cast a shadow. But prognostication only takes place in February so we’re safe from winter this time, however it is was still pretty chilly outside.

  • Blue Mountains

    People kept telling us we won’t like Vancouver because it rains all the time, but it seems to rain all the time in Toronto too, including while we were leaving.

    image

    They also told us the mountains are better in BC, so we decided we should see the mountains in Ontario before we leave so we can properly compare. So we drove to the Blue Mountains on the way out. They were hard to see because they were so high up in the clouds.

    image

    As we got closer we could see them more clearly. They have 6 whole poles in their chairlift, which goes all the way to the summit.
