Algonquin Park - 2016 & 2018Through Jane's Eyes

I've been meaning to do this for a long time... share some of Jane's pictures. So this post is just of Jane's captures.

We often find different subjects as we roam with our cameras. Jane often captures things I miss or that I wouldn't have thought of. When we do shoot the same subject, Jane's results are often better than mine. She has a good eye. The following are from this year.

Where we stayed... Spring Lake Resort, 15 minutes from the park.

Jane said I was in 'relaxation mode'. I was. My bald head dominates too much of the image. :)

Oxtongue Rapids

I love this one... at Oxtongue Rapids too.

 

At Peek-a-Boo Rock at the Dorset Tower.

View from Peek-a-Boo Rock.

Some of the more ambitious visitors walk up to the tower... a very pretty walk.

At Ragged Falls.

Ragged Falls without yours truly blocking the view. 

Some of the trails are root-bound in spots. You have to look down more than up as you walk.

Canoeists on Canoe Lake.

In a playful mood. I moved this rock a little further into the woods. It was in the way. 

Does everyone from the south stop at Robinsons General Store on the way home... maybe on the way up? We always do. We never come out empty-handed either.

Jane found this tour boat docked across from Robinsons.

2016
The rest of the images are Jane's from our previous visit in 2016. We stayed at the lake but the colours we caught weren't nearly as good as this year.

Jane is able to get some road shots as we drive along Highway 60 through the park. The windshield is clean but not perfect.

Diving into the dip.

Reflections at Oxtongue Rapids.

The red maple above the river makes this look like lava to me. 

A collapsed inukshuk? 

Algonquin attracts lots of artists. This one took a short break from her work as we chatted with her at Tea Lake Dam, for those who know the area.

A pretty nice looking pine, considering that it's a fake. Bell Telephone has disguised their cell-phone antennas in it. You can see them at the top if you look carefully... you may need to enlarge the image.

The first time we spotted it at Whisky Rapids Trail, we noticed the bottom of it... otherwise we probably would have missed it.

A pretty spot near Oxtongue Rapids.

A shot we both seem to take on every visit to Canoe Lake.


Are their days numbered? This one is just in the woods at the Canoe Lake parking lot. It was still there this year.


We were alone on this lake with this pair of Mallards. After they ate some of the corn we gave them, they were thirsty.


View from the deck at the visitor's center, looking east. The only real color there is just in front of the deck.
 

At the old airfield. Bear country, though we've never seen one there yet. They come for the blueberries, the reddish shrubs in the background.

I don't remember seeing this one but Jane captured it for me. 'Trumpet Fungus'... my name for it.

Heading back to our hotel in 2016.

I'll post more of Jane's in the future maybe. It took me long enough to do this set. :)


The photographer gave me permission to publish these before she checked them out. :)
