and What a Weekend!

We started the season with a beautiful May Long Weekend and now are heading into Fall on a high note.

This is the time of year that SUNSETS excel.

 We took a drive through the park last night and captured this red delight not to far from the Pine Point Hiking Trail.

We made it back just in time to catch the sun going down over the lake.

Looking forward to the fall season; the sunny afternoons, invigoration walk in the woods and evenings in front of a cozy wood fire.

Check out our Fall packages.

Stu and I headed out before we opened up this morning, and enjoyed an hour "just catching the breeze".  

As we took off from the dock we spotted this eagle at the far end of the lake.  It was just a speck that we followed as it flew up the length of the lake... accomplishing that even before we reached half way across. Brereton is 8km long and 4.5km wide.   It landed in this tree on the far north end of the lake.  Amazing how fast the eagle flew the hole length of the lake.

 The other morning Stu and I were looking down river and he noticed the water swirling and then saw a HUGE head  pop above the service. It looked prehistoric from where we were standing. We realized it was a large male snapping turtle thrashing about.

More swirling and then two backs popped above the surface.

This went on for some time. 

More swirling in the water and then two backs motionless…. 

While they were resting Stu walked down along the shore to get a closer look and got this amazing shot of the little lady as she swam to shore.

That’s a first for us. We have never witnessed the matting rituals of the Snapping Turtles before.
