The hiking group was split into two groups with Fran (the leader and photographer), David, Ron J., and Ron B. hiking 15.6 km on the first leg of the Peninsula while the rest did a hike in Sydenham. The group pose by a statue of Wiarton Willie. He definitely would see his shadow on this beautiful clear day.
The Trail follows the shoreline through Wiarton and beside a yacht club.
Flowers were in full bloom.
After climbing the Spiral Staircase the Trail enters a forest for a short distance before emerging into fields.
and then into the forest again. David is in his camo gear so hard to see.
The Trail passes through Colpoy's Bay.
and then back though the fields.
A small waterfall.
Walking towards water and perhaps lunch!
After a short Mallory Beach Side Trail, the group arrives at the perfect lunch spot.
Of course boys will be boys and a stone skipping contest breaks out.
Meanwhile Fran was admiring the flowers on the beach.
and Ron found some Fungi, the first being an Urn Fungus of the Peziza group of fungi and as are the following fungi.
and some parasitic plants that have no chlorophyll so they live on the roots of other plants. These are called Cancer Root. A hike with Ron J. is a learning experience.
A spectacular viewpoint.
Checking out the Side Trail down the escarpment before finishing today's hike.
