Last Stop of the Day – at Bunn’s Creek

Heading home after the morning in Bird’s Hill Provincial Park, I decided that since I would be very close to Bunn’s Creek, I might as well make one more stop of the day for my last stroll.

The only bird who stopped to pose for me, was this beautiful Blue Jay – and I had just barely stepped out of my car.

I walked one of my shortest walks while at Bunn’s Creek today. I crossed the creek on the bridge that is directly in front of the parking lot, then turned right and walked to the 3rd bridge where I crossed over and walked back to the car. Combined with my walks in Bird’s Hill Park, I had 18,733 steps (8.13 miles) according to FitBit for the day. I did manage a few more photos even without birds or critters.

  • Heading for the bridge just ahead to cross the creek
  • I took photos of 2 other bridges art before, but didn’t get this one due to the very bright sun that day.
  • Bunn’s Creek from the bridge
  • Lovely to have water running – it sounded wonderful
  • Heading towards the 2nd bridge
  • another view of the creek
  • The water & colours are beautiful
These 2 Oak trees (and many more) had this wire around them. I could tell that the wire isn’t going to stop a squirrel (which can go through the holes or jump over the wire) or a cat (which would jump over it). When I got home I started to wonder about stopping a beaver. But a beaver would probably be able to chew the wire. Almost every Oak Tree in one section ( between the 2nd & 3rd bridges) had wire wrapped around the bottom 3 feet. Any ideas?

Then – I headed for home – what a beautiful day!
