Perth Wildlife Preserve Part 2

 We made it to the lookout. We'd taken the shorter path, with wide open, mowed trails and fewer bugs.


This is an arm of the creek. 


Up we went...



Boats head down the wider main part of Jebbs Creek. 



This sweet pair were dropping the F Bomb, and likely don't know or care that sounds travels over water.






🥾 🥾 🥾 🥾 🥾 🥾 🥾 🥾 🥾 🥾 🥾 🥾



Our Ottawa kids are in Newfoundland. This is an amazing part of Canada. I've not been, but I've been enjoying their photos. They've been hiking, walking the Viking Trail, and otherwise exploring. 




Can you see the boat near the left of the photo?!

Jordan loves reptiles and amphibians.

Selfie!

Caitlin is a hydrogeologist. She explained that this rock is made of 500,000,000 year old thrombolite (wiki)!




And, just before I go, good news. The nearby fire on the lakeshore (renters setting off fireworks) was contained.  No damage to neighbours, as far as I know. I added photos to my post.

  9. Happy to read the fire was contained. Lovely to get the photos from your family. Wonderful that your grands have such a keen interest in the world around them. I enjoyed your photos also. Being around water is soothing to this soul and photos help a lot too :) Thanks for another great post Jenn!
