Killbear Provincial Park, Georgian Bay area
Travelling within the vast and varied province of Ontario can be like visiting a few different countries, and the amount of time it takes to do it attests to that! It’s such a big province that it can take as long as flying abroad to cross it by car. That means there’s lots to see and do!
In fact, travel and trekking in Ontario is as diverse as the province’s landscapes and ecosystems. Whether travelling for leisure or trekking for rugged adventure, each region within Ontario has something distinct to offer.

Nearly a thousand people gathered Monday on Parliament Hill in front of the Centennial Flame to protest the Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport tar sands crude oil to Texas.

We always stop to take turtles off the road when we see them (so long as it’s safe road-wise).

My goal was to walk a minimum of 50km kilometres and raise $500 or more for Canadian wildlife. To kick off the event, I hiked 10km kilometres in Mashkinonje Provincial […]
While I was in Korea, I wrote most of a book. I had to sit on it, go back to it, let it go through its process (which took a lot longer than most of the writing did). At the time, I didn’t know it was a book. I suspected it might be, but I never dreamed that […]
Snapped lots of various mushroom and fungi pics this year — here are a few of my faves… Half were taken in the French River area, the rest on the Duchesnay Falls trail in North Bay.
These awesomely weird wild flowers were growing in the backyard! Never saw them there before… We saw these pretty wild flowers while hiking at Pine Creek in West Arm.
I saw this water snake while hiking at Pine Creek in West Arm. It wasn’t in a lake or pond or anything — the water snake was just hanging out in a big puddle on a quad trail… This is a pretty cool shot, what with the water snake’s head poking out of the water…
The same day I finished my sola La Cloche Silhouette Trek in Killarney, I randomly met two backpackers and hosted them in my parents’ home in Noëlville for four days. Our guests, Matte and Anne, travellers from Holland and Germany, enjoyed hiking and sightseeing in the area. I was happy to show them things they never would have […]
