Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park

This is the sign at the beginning of the Long Point Trail. Some day I will walk the whole length, but the evening I took this, we just walked along part of it, when down to the beach, then came back.

You can't really see it here, but the town of Lac La Biche is in the distance.

Sarah told me to put a picture of me in this blog, so here is one. I am not happy with it, but is anyone really happy with their own picture? A friend took this one of me, and I took one of her; we both used both our cameras.

This picture and the one below are part of the boardwalk. These steps going down show how steep the climb is. The lake is in the background between the trees.

These steps are going up. The ramp on the side is for bikes.. and for people who don't want to use the steps - the ramp is easier on stiff knees!

This was on the same evening, taken from the causeway. The white dot on the water is a pelican. I am trying very hard to find a pelican up much closer than this! I have seen a couple flying by, but not close enough to get a good picture. Some day soon I will have the time to go and sit and just wait for them to fly in to feed. There are a couple of locations where this happens... I just have to be there at the right time!

These are some wild grasses growing by the water.

I thought this was a pretty shot with the evening sun on the water. It was taken the same evening as the couple just above.

You can see Lac La Biche in the distance. This was taken from the Boardwalk Trail... as can be seen, not the whole trail is boardwalk!

Another view of the trail.

I was trying to catch the ripples of the water as the waves lapped the shore... the water is so clear, and it wasn't very cold.. just refreshingly cool!

I was lying on the beach under this tree and looked up. It was so pretty, I took a picture looking up through the tree. You can see that I have the photos the right way up because of the date/time stamp!

This is another section of the beach. You can walk from one to the other in places, or you can reach each section by its own path from the parking area.

These are the steps we had to use to go down from the path to the beach pictured below!
