The Great Algonquin Escape

Here is some nice sunrise shots. It rained the night before, and just stopped as we woke up at 5:00 in the morning. The last shot was taken about an hour later in another camp ground, Lake of Two Rivers.

Expect to see plenty of wildlife in Algonquin. We were no farther inside the Park, when John spotted a black bear. We also saw two deer, a couple of vultures, squirrels, chipmunks, and a complete assortment of beautiful birds.  Below are two animals we saw quite a bit of, a rabbit, and two loons, right off our shore from camp:

And what excursion to Algonquin Park is complete without spotting moose? The first picture, shown on the left, is a female cow, and her name is Flo. The second and third pictures are the same moose. His name is Ed, and he was quite content eating grass, and watching us as much as we were watching him. We spotted him on our way to Opeongo Lake to get some coffee early on Saturday morning. On the way back, we saw him again at the very same spot. The last picture is a shot of Jeb. We almost hit him, as we were coming up on a blind corner. Then all of a sudden, there he was! Scared the poo out of the both of us. This shot is him running for the forest, with my shaky hand trying to get a shot of the moose that just about ruined our weekend, and car.

This photo here was the most scariest photo of them all.  It was a moose, but we weren't too sure how in the world it could be related to the moose species.  After talking with the Ranger, and local authorities, they had said that we were the first ever to spot such a specimen.  They are not indigenious to Algonquin Park, but have been seen in other locales across Ontario.  Man, he was scary.
