Things quiet down pretty fast at day's end in Algonquin Park. The stillness is wonderful with only a few bird calls to break the silence. The blackflies, however, are another story. They are nefarious and persistent little devils - flying up your nose, into your ears, and crawling under your clothing - all to slice into your skin, using their saliva to make it bleed nicely, and gorging themselves full at your expense. Small wonder it's so quiet in the evening. It's best to take someone along that's willing to act as bait while you get your shot. ;)
"What sets a canoeing expedition apart is that it purifies you more rapidly and inescapably than any other travel. Travel a thousand miles by train and you are a brute; pedal five hundred on a bicycle and you remain basically a bourgeois; paddle a hundred in a canoe and you are already a child of nature." - Pierre Elliott Trudeau
At the Algonquin Outfitters Store, these canoes are in their winter sleep. I should have asked - are they color coded for a reason or does someone just have an eye for composition?
I love being outdoors and away from city noise - though it's difficult to sit still for any length of time. Years of working in a stressful environment and constantly prioritizing yet another urgent request makes it difficult to slow down. When I do manage it, however, as I did here, it's absolute bliss to feel the morning sun on my face and the cool breezes between my toes.
