Silver Peak, Killarney Park, September 2014 · Sept 30, 06:04 pm
Wow … what an incredible few days in Killarney. The weather was 27 degrees so we decided to get our gear together and head out to Bell Lake Killarney and hike over 6 hours return backcountry trekking up to the Peak! Amazing!
The evenings were so warm, we didn’t even need our tent.
We have over 700 photos for our next painting series!!! Breathtaking. These are just samples of our trek.

After 3 hours of hiking and a one hour upward ascent through the forest, we finally see SILVER PEAK.
And way off in the distance is BELL LAKE where we started our trip to the Peak.

Beauty of life on the Peak.
Aaah Stu - where's your rope? Be careful!
HAPPY HAPPY!!!!!!!!
WAY off in the distance is Georgian Bay (in the clouds). I think we are whispering sweet nothings.
Again, the colours astounded us!

The painting material is endless.

We clambered down to get this MASSIVE pine at the edge of the cliff! Amazing life on the edge.

Back in town of Killarney, we treated ourselves to Fish from the famous fish bus! Yep - I am licking my lips yum!
On our drive home, I sited a Bald Eagle up in the tree!!!!!!!!! First time either of us have seen one in Ontario! WOW.
Trying to get closer to the eagle.
Beautiful! We stood and watched it for a half an hour.
