Murphys Law

Fri. 21 April:  Murphys Law



The best of  Murphys Point Provincial Park
Note: click on pictures for full size view.

Murphys Point Provincial Park never disappoints – that’s the law.  And today was no exception.  Here are some photos from an eleven kilometre looping ramble across most of the park.  With one exception, I had it all to myself, on this windy spring afternoon.   The clouds were flying across the sky and the rough waters of Big Rideau Lake sparkled like liquid gold and silver.  Enjoy the pictures.

Racing clouds above Lally Homestead

A soggy spring meadow

And some wet patches along the trail

At the Loon Lake portage

Campsite phone - an increasingly rare sight

On the Sylvan Trail

Big Rideau Lake from Point Trail 

Two Canada geese in choppy waters

Pleasant trails leading from the campsites

This white tailed deer did not notice me...

...until I came quite close...

...and even then it was in  no hurry to leave

The first spring flowers beside the trail

Back at Lally Homestead after an eleven kilometre loop
around this beautiful Provincial Park - so close to home
