In just the 9 days we have been out so far we have been fortunate to see many wonderful sights. It's amazing when you spend lots of time outside how many more
Encounters you have with creatures! It's easy to forget that all these critters are always outside moving around, we just have a hard time accepting that animals, plants and insects don't
Suddenly appear when we set foot outside the door. We've seen lots of species of fish and birds. Perhaps most striking are the great trumpeter swans. Since arriving onto the Bay of Quinte
Which is quite a large body of water the number of huge carp that we see has exponentially increased. There are many turtles, deer, and cycles of insect. We've seen clouds of shad flies live out their
Ephemoral lives and this yeats fresh crop of canadian goslings. This vast tract of canadian landsape that we will are crossing is unbelievably productive. One lake, in particular Rice Lake is said to be the most densely populated
By fish lake in all of Canada! Everywhere you look 8 lb bass are jumping out of the water and thousands of perch, pickerel and sunfish swarm under the boat. We've never seen so many herons in one place ever before, it's just stunning
How much life one lake can hold. Each and every day we see something, learn something, that we haven't experienced yet. Even in the small-scal ecosystem that has developed in the water in the boat there are developing mayflies, life stages of various critters and snails.
Even when we clean up, something moves in over night, it's a fact of life. This is why we choose to travel the way we do...it's a speed that allows us to keep up with the countless miracles great and small happening every day around us.
