Canoe with a View : : Canadian Open Canoe forum

Just spent an awesome relaxing day hiking in a little conservation area on the edge of town. Had a great hike...brought along the campstove and made a pot of coffee, had a sandwich and just spent a couple of hours soakin up some of mom natures wonders. This area had a population of turtles...snapping turtles, painted turtles and blandings turtles.....I was very discouraged at not seeing a single turtle during my 3 hours here, the frog population seems to rebounding after a couple of bad years tho so I guess its not all sad news! And its a bird watchers dream!

Some excellent photo's Kirk, I am guessing the turtles eat frogs? so maybe they ate most of the frogs resulting in the turtles reproducing less and less until few are left resulting in a population boom for frogs!!! So with this in mind more food for the turtles and then they start reproducing again OR I am talking out my ar$e and it's something completely different......

Cheers

Great photo's Kirk....

Although with a title like that, I was waiting for one of a Wolf, closely followed by one of a Red rose....

I notice your daisies have much finer petals than ours, I'll see if I can dig a shot out for comparison.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers
