here we are, 8:00 in the morning, at the north entrance

a hint of sun on the last remaining leaves

peaceful view of lac phillippe

there is no one else here

oh deer!

what a mess

didn't they see the washrooms?

forgot to bring our snowshoes

wonder what lives in there?

too early to stop for a rest...

monkey

yup... it's a tree

"i have to pee...

coccoon leaves

might as well take a picture while i am waiting...

at the end of the lake

see how far we've gone?... and we've just begun

water look warm enough for a swim?

chillin in the sun

shiny tree

if i were a deer, i would eat this grass... it looks yummy (for a deer)

look up, way up... that's right, nothing but blue skies

beaver lodge

did the tree grow on top of the rock, or did the rock grow under the tree?

marble ceiling and river running through the lusk caves

no... i wanna play a bit longer!

mini waterfall (very mini)

autumn scene

ribbit!

help! the leaves are drowning!

a canadian elephant's trunk

fern (canadian elephants like to eat these)

path made by canadian elephant

they were the cutest little plant... i just had to take a picture.

the spider causeway

partridge berry?

a tree with a cast

isn't that pretty?

poop shaped like pine cones... must have been the canadian elephants

is that one over there?

the evergreen guard

the funny mushrooms, and the bite out of the tree

a bulbous tree

autumn reflections

almost looks like an enchanted forest... it must be if it has canadian elephants.

all the leaves... left!

mandatory "poofy" thing

And now... a bunch of mushrooms:
