Concrete scupture is a feature of the Keppel Croft gardens.
There are many excellent ponds on site.
Smile for the camera and say "ribbit!"

Cabot Head Lighthouse
The lighthouse at Cabot Head, restored and maintained by the Friends of Cabot Head volunteer organization. This image from a gallery by Matt Myles.
Aerial photo, satellite, from Google Maps.
The road to the Cabot Head lighthouse. It's about a 20 minute drive along the shore.
The original light from years past is on display.
View from atop the light tower, looking toward Tobermory.
Wind generation at Ferndale.
Reports of rattlesnakes on the path. We decided NOT to hike because of this (and because our time was getting tight).
About fifty ships are wrecked in the waters around the Bruce Peninsula.
View out the lighthouse tower window, looking east across Georgian Bay.
Shore birds on Georgian Bay.
Rock Textures at Dyer's Bay
One of these days I'll be wanting to use these as a background for a webpage or something! An endless variety of rock types and textures were found just in an area of a few square metres.
Dyer's Bay
The rocks along this stretch were flat, like giant slabs of flagstone. What a great place to sit and watch the waves and feel the peaceful, eternal presence of Georgian Bay!
Larkwhistle Garden
The next day, Wednesday, was my 47th birthday. We headed out in the morning, this time up to Dyer's Bay to visit the Larkwhistle Garden. We had meant to visit this place ten years ago when we last came up to the area, but they were closed. So now we can finally scratch it off our list! Larkwhistle was more sculpted and tidy than Earth Bound, and they had more of a variety of plants, but less for sale. They mainly focused on seed sales. Huge variety of plants and a lovely setting in the country.
