Well we spent two weeks in Algonquin Park in May and they were terrific! The bugs just started coming out about 2 days before we left, specifically black flies and they were coming out fast. We had a very relaxing time and saw quite a lot of wildlife. Lots of moose, beavers, foxes, Pine Martens, ducks and a bear, well the back end of a bear anyways. As I was picking up my camera, Clint and I both said there’s a ………….bear…………gone. I almost had a photo lol.
The weather was pretty good, a little chilly the first week. We arrived there 14 May and it was one day that week that it snowed a little overnight and was below zero Celsius. And we had rain for 2 nights, 1 full day and a morning so that was not bad at all. We also had some temperatures going up to 22-23 Celsius which was awesome. I am so slow to download, sort through and edit my photos so I am just putting a few on this post and I will have to finish up later as I have lots of stories to tell you. But here’s just a small samplin’ of what I photographed.

Grouse, Male 
Female Grouse 
Bull moose 
What is that on the ground? 
My creative leaf 
Crossing the road 
Also crossing the road 
Another bull moose
The Bull Moose above is going to have an awesomeset of antlers come the Fall when they are at their peak. They are a fair size for this time of year.
I forgot to put one of my Pine Martens on here, so here he/she is!

I hope you all are having a great summer and enjoying the weather. See you soon and stay safe.


Wow, I love your photos, beautiful! And the black flies? I despise them! I call them deer flies, they draw blood!

As a child in Michigan and growing up on a lake, the mosquitos and deer flies literally had blood running down my legs as they did their evil deed. Michigan summers are beautiful except for those evil things!

I like all the photos Susan, but that fox up top is so beautiful. One day I will see a fox I hope. How funny about the bear shot. Those nubby little antlers on the top moose. Have fun sorting through photos – I am really behind and keep going through recent photos – I may never catch up!
