We were still in the Bison Enclosure and had just left the White-tail Deer in the last post, and I was continuing along on the one way road towards the exit.  This road has lots of curves, especially once you get into the bush and it is quite a narrow road (which is why it is one way).  Just ahead of me, I saw some Bison.   I was surprised, because I always take this road and had never seen any Bison once I get into the bush part of it – but there they were.  They were just waking up and moving very slowly.

I always drive slowly through here anyway, so I didn’t have a problem with them moving slowly – but they weren’t anxious to even move at all and pretty much stood there without moving.  So – I stopped and began snapping pictures through the windshield.  I don’t get the best pictures through the windshield, but it was either this way or no pictures.

As I have been driving along the gravel roads, I often see Flickers fly away and I always slow down or stop to see where they land and if I can get a picture.  Until now, they had avoided my photography, but this one perched in a perfect spot for me to snap a couple of pictures.  They turned out almost identical, so I’ll just show you this one of a Northern Flicker.

I found a couple of Loons on the Wishing Well Road and managed some pictures.

The trees along the lake are getting fall colours.

Then I headed for #19 and found more colours along the road.

I pulled into Katherine Lake and found some wild horses (well, maybe not wild), but horses anyway.  Apparently the riders are Don, Don and Jan.  They allowed me to take a picture and then they were on their way.

I noticed a trail at the other end of the parking lot and decided to take a little stroll.  This was actually longer than I would walk on my own and especially starting in the afternoon, so I just walked in a bit and then walked back out.  It looks like a nice trail though.

Then it was into Wasagaming for a walk along the shore and onto the dock.

I decided to head back to the B&B earlier than usual, since the clouds were too thick to aim for sunset tonight.
