The things you see, when you look between the trees, is sort of like. Reading between the lines.

A 180 acre park, Black River Wilderness Park is owned and operated by the Chippewas of Rama First Nations.






On this last day of the season, the tents and the RVs have left the grounds. A single campfire fills the air with an earthy smell of smoke.



















In the midst of our great Canadian landscape, amongst the trees, and the lakes, and the rocks, we discovered The Tree Museum.

Just follow the little blue arrows, and the little blue signs. After a kilometer, or two, and you will happen upon the entrance to the Tree Museum.

Before the entrance, God has his work on display.


A mailbox contains a guest book. We left our names among the rest of the worldly travelers who have discovered this beautiful retreat into the wilderness.





Having just recently recovered from a bout of covid19, I started this outing a little overconfident in my level of fitness and endurance, so we are leaving the rest of tour for a different day.
We have so much more to explore!


Who is the poet of the flower?
The answer changes by the hour.

Petals of
blue,
and of white,
and of pink.

The scent of the flower,
Cause the poet to think.

The stem,
The stalk,
Where in
The flower's beauty
Locks.

Grown
In sand, and soil,
And rock.

God's paint brush
Moves,
With grace and ease.

Beauty, found and sought.


We were our very own one car parade as we very slowly and very carefully traveled the 12 kilometers of narrow dirt road, through forests and wetlands, to the very peaceful and tranquil Victoria Falls. A very different parade than the one taking place in England to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.

On the right of the bridge is the wet and wild Victoria Falls with it’s many rocks and rapids.
To the left of the bridge the dark waters lazily gather before turning and tumbling down the rocky falls to join the rapids below.

The water forming large Eddie’s before transforming into a flurry of rushing water.

So much to explore. So much to see.

We spotted a beaver close to this spot.

Ontario has so much to offer.

Psalm 1:3 'the leaf shall not wether'


To Mothers,
From far and wide.
Here on earth,
And in the sky.

To those who mother
Other people's children.
To those who benefit
From other people's mothers.

From the goose
With her gander.
To the Mother osprey
Who yelled at me.

Happy Mother's Day
To all of the women
In this world!

Stumped
I am stumped
Totally stumped
So stumped.

Stumped
By all the things that I have heard
When people say
Not a single word

Like flower petals
They grow on dead wood.
They love me
They love me not

And the waters swirl
As the world turns
And
Everything stands
Still.
