Right after the Federal Government here announced that Riding Mountain National Park was opening – the Elkhorn Resort put their rooms on sale. All rooms for the same price – so I quickly picked a deluxe suite and booked 3 nights.

I had packed my suitcase the night before I was leaving an had everything ready to go (I thought). In the morning I grabbed what was ready and headed out the door.

About an hour later, I realized I had forgotten my camera. My phone takes decent photos – but I need the camera for my best and/or long distance shots, so I made a u-turn and headed back home. I just turned my 3 hour trip into a 5 hour trip, but I’m here. 🙂

  • The view is supposed to be the stables, but can’t see the horses for the trees.

Of course, I was out looking for critters and views as soon as I got there.

  • First Black Bear
  • Heading for the dock at Grayling Lake
  • Water plants & reflections
  • Easy to see bottom of the lake from dock
  • From the dock looking back at the land
  • Dandelion gone to seed
  • Men & Women must be 2 meters apart,
  • Entrance to Moon Lake
  • Moon Lake Shoreline
  • Moon Lake Shoreline (other direction)
  • Hawk overhead
  • Dragonfly
  • Black Bear #2
  • Wooden Beavers at Ominnik Marsh
  • Beaver Den
  • Blue-winged Teal
  • Red-winged Blackbird
  • Pretty little Butterfly – is was approximately 2 inches from top wingtip to other wingtip.

Hopefully I get a few more photos over the next couple of days.
