Another good hike with the Nordic Pole Walkers today. I remembered to take my step counter and registered 8,000 steps. I may even make it to 10,000 during the rest of the day, my most ever.
I also remembered my camera so got a few shots. It wasn't as great a day as last week, quite windy and cool although it had warmed up by the time we stopped. We walked down to the lake again but by a different route. We followed Highland Creek but didn't see any salmon swimming upstream to lay their eggs. It's a bit late in the season for them and the water level was quite low.
Here we are strung out along the trail. Everyone walks at their own speed.There were whitecaps on the waves. Being a lake the waves are not huge.
The hike is an official part of the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail.
We didn't see much wildlife but spotted this hawk on a dead tree. I did hear lots of Blue Jays, though.
We gathered for coffee afterwards to reward ourselves for the exercise. I needed a nap when I got home and after lunch worked in the garden. Hope the weather continues to be decent for a few more weeks!
