Postcard from Canada
Author: RockyHey there everyone! I’m doing this smaaall article from Canada since i thought it’d be a fairly good idea to put up a lil info about what we’ve been up to!
Algonquin Provincial Park
Now, we’ve been busy, we always are – and now we find ourselves specifically hunting out and descovering places to tell you about, and we sure have done that! – places we’ve been so far this week include Bancroft, Algonquin park (and wow did we underestimate what was on offer there!), Muskoka Wildlife Centre, Kirkfield Lift Lock, New market, Orillia and of coarse the beach near Bolsover, Lake Simcoe.
Baptist Lake Near Bancroft
We headed to Muskoka wildlife centre yesterday to call in on Juniper, and found that not only is she very happy, she’ll be introduced into the other raccoons and the foxes soon. Not to mention that they now have a new Albino Raccoon, another Red fox and a Fisher (which is a member of the weasel family) – and they were all out so we got plenty of photos of them!
Muskoka Wildlife Centre
And while we were at Kirkfield lift lock today we were lucky enough to see a number of very large boats going up and down the huge structure – so we got plenty of photos of that as well! Yesterday we were doing some star gazing, using the telescope we have over here – - a telescope i wished i had back home, since it has electronic movement where you press buttons and it moves.. very steady so very good when looking at stars! And with the sky out here so free from light polution, it makes spectacular viewing – especially when you’re lucky enough to see shooting stars!
Kirkfield Lift Lock In Use
So that’s about it! – This article obviously is set to go out on Saturday 22nd, so I’ll be sleeping when this actually goes out, and having a nice Canadian Breakfast when i do actually get up – but right now, I’m off to go to Newmarket and call at Upper Canada’s Mall – which we’ll also be featuring next week, along with a place which i cant wait to tell you about sat right on the side of Baptist Lake near Bancroft – so! I’ll see you all shortly on my return with plenty of fresh stuff to share with you all!
From Rocky — wish you were here!
