Algonquin Park Trip - part 2

I broke up the Algonquin posts into 2 parts as there were so many pictures and I did not want to bore you with a 100 picture post. This part will focus more on the outlying areas of Algonquin that were breathtaking in their landscape and colour as well.




This shot was taken just outside of Bancroft. It was a little later in the morning so the light was not great. I think the Pano shot is better at showcasing the trees on the island.



Burleigh Falls is another great great spot to stop and capture. It was so fantastic there, with the rushing water and warm temperatures that we stayed there for 2 hours. Could have easily stayed longer.













While I was sitting there, my wife pointed out that there was a Blue Heron fishing in one of the pools. I grabbed this shot with my 70-200. I feel very lucky to get such an nice, feathery bird just posing for me.



One last shot of the area. Must see for you if you go by that way

Close by there was a mill of sorts. Too much sun to really do it justice




I wish I could remember the name of this cemetery that is on the way to Algonquin. For me, it was very unique with its numerous family plots and gravestones that date back to 1850.




Just liked this blue house.


Driving up Hwy. 28 you will see several swamp type of photo ops. Wish the sky was better. Tried hdr to bring something out of it. Pretty happy with the trees.





More detours on our way. Nice little scenic water way...



This next shot does not do the vista any justice. Really breathtaking from this high up.


The scene from Eagles Nest in Bancroft.





Lets leave the last word to the Turkey Vulture who is really only looking for his next road kill...er i mean  meal.
