Bon Echo Provincial Park
Yesterday it was such a lovely day and not too hot so we decided to drive up to Bon Echo Provincial Park. It is not too far from us so an easy drive on almost deserted roads.
We got to the park and after paying $8 for a day pass we drove round to one trail, but unfortunately it was closed and the other trail close by led to a canoe-launching place. We hung around and took some pics and then drove back along the track to another area of the park.
This area was where everyone was camping and was busier than the other area, although we still could not believe that on a beautiful weekend day there were only a few people wandering around.
We walked along a few trails and followed the lakeshore. The lake is quite large and is overlooked by high cliffs and is quite pretty. We still thought Algonquin was much better and will go back there soon.
After spending a few hours there we drove back and in the evening sat outside in the lovely evening warmth. I sat talking to some of our squirrels – well it would be rude to ignore them and managed to get a chipmunk to take several peanuts straight out of my fingers. I also had an incredibly tiny and tame chickadee sitting on my hand for ages whist it tucked into the nut feast I held.
The robin chicks are growing and starting to get feather pins through.
They will be a week old on Monday and apparently stay in the nest for a couple of weeks, so they must grow very quickly.
