The 7 Wonders of Lanark County: #7 Stewart Park

We've been to all 7 wonders!
Stewart Park is wonderful. A great place for festivals: free music in 2011,  musicfest 2012, wedding photos, walks (with Dr. Brian Goldman), and the statue commemorating Big Ben.

Dr. Goldman came to town

Not riding on a pony

Saw Stewart Park 

Thought it a lark

Said Perth, 

it was quite tony!

The 7 Wonders of Lanark County: #6 Silver Queen Mica Mine

Have you ever seen mica?
I have some. Neighbours dumped some blasted rock from a new cottage and these pieces were on the ground. Mica was used as glass back in the 1800s. 
 You can take guided tours down into the mine during the Murphys Point Park season.

The 7 Wonders of Lanark County: #5b Ted Mosquin trail

But first the lookout - so pretty across the way!
  

The 7 Wonders of Lanark County: #5a Orchid colony at Purdon Conservation Area

Great conservation area whether
it is time for the orchids
 (June/July) or not!

It is a pretty boardwalk, with many signs that explain the flora. Of course, no blooms in the fall. They die off after July.
