Bruce Peninsula National Park

     Once again, we have gone to this beautiful place. It was such a nice, hot day for cooling off in the tingling cold water (though I only went in twice).


We passed through Teviotdale and saw the tornado damage. It was mostly cleaned up. This wheat got flattened by some wind.

Cypress Lake

Monkeying around on ( rather, off) the  trail, despite the threat of rattlesnakes.



Georgian Bay.


Shallow pools.

Damaris enjoyed herself.


N loves the water. No matter how cold it is!

You can build all sorts of cool things with these pebbles.


The blue part is the deep water; the greenish part is the shallow. When you see that cliff underwater, with goggles, it is just amazing! 




(Top to bottom) Deep and shallow.




Jump.


Caves in the rock.

Flowers on the cliffs.

Small plants on an overhang (I was sitting on a ledge beneath that).


Inside a chamber.




Damaris was in her element and trying to climb everywhere!


Here, you can see the different depths really well.

Looking down from the ledge.




A little house.

Swimming shoes were very useful for the rocky footing.

After jumping off a "small" cliff.

Daring Jumpers.


Bobble Heads ( Look in the background).

 
This time, I did not go to the grotto. The wind was quite cold and I preferred to stay in the sun.

Sunday's Storm

I won't be left alone without photos of the storm. These ones do not look so impressive, but trust me, we saw it roll in, and it was amazing! Marble-sized hail, and constant lightning, strong winds;... I knew there had been a tornado somewhere.
The sky looked darker and more threatening than in these pictures.
