My next stop is one of my favourite sunrise locations. Grayling Lake. It is quite a small lake surrounded by evergreens.
Approaching the dock 
looking left 
looking right 
looking back – where you can see my car
Next stop was Moon Lake where there was lots of ice remaining
view as I entered 
First lake I’ve seen that is frozen right to the shore 
Frozen the opposite direction also 
This is a lot of ice. 
I like to walk just the beginning of the trail 
A Great Grey Heron flew over and appeared to be landing – missed him in the shot 
I kept walking, while looking for a clear spot to look for the Heron 
Hopefully on the bridge, I can see it.
Here he is – but not in focus, so I kept these photos smaller here 
I could see a fish in his beak as he flew away, but did not time this photo well enough to show it and he disappeared quickly. 
the water on each side of the bridge 
From Moon Lake, I continued north. Just north of Moon Lake is prime Moose viewing at times. Not this time though. I drove past the walking man tree and a bit further before turning around and heading back south again.
The highway has 3 divides within the park and on one of those, I saw a Black Bear running towards the road from my left. By the time I grabbed my camera he was already running up and ready to disappear into the bush on my right. So, I held up the camera without looking or zooming and managed a couple of photos. I have drastically cropped them, but you can see what I saw.
Then it was time to check in, so I headed out of the park and to the Honeycomb Bed & Breakfast to be checked in. I stayed there until mid afternoon – then headed to Wasagaming for a good meal before going out driving and looking for critters again.
To be continued tomorrow.
