Algonquin Park is just the same as ever, though the annual May long weekend trip was colder than most — we had rain, snow, hail, and (occasionally) sunshine… sometimes all within a few minutes of each other.
We noticed a strange, apparently waterborne pollen that collected on the shores of the lakes and rivers. It collected most magnificently about a certain beaver dam, where it had the consistency of an omelette. The exact source of the stuff remained undetermined… could be shoreline flowers, algae, extra-terrestrials, etc.
It does not take long to see that the mighty moose is truly the park celebrity – it’s not uncommon to see dozens of cars stopped in the middle of the road, passengers eagerly observing the noble beast as it rambles around the ditches along Highway 60.
Trees and rocks, and rocks and trees
