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.

Gros Morne Park –Newfoundland

Newfoundland and Labrador is a place filled with breathtaking landscapes. And they are as much a part of us, as we are of them. Around here, you can hike to the top of Gros Morne Mountain, float through the glacier-carved fjord of Western Brook Pond, walk upon a 485-million-year-old slice of earth's mantle at The Tablelands, or bask in the emerald glow of Green Gardens. 

This is an inspiring land, and a far departure from the world that brought you here in the first place. And if you have even the smallest belief in magic, it is right here, waiting to be discovered, far off the beaten path.
