Kejimkujik National Park.

Hi All,

I spent 4 days this past weekend with family at "Keji".
The trip, and weather was awesome with photo ops everywhere you looked. Keji is known for it's canoeing, and this is the 100th anniversary of "The Tent Dwellers", a classic novel about a 1908 fishing trip in the area by four people.

It is also the site for the endangered Blanding's Turtle, and a recovery program is ongoing in an attempt to re-establish the species. I cheated on the image of the baby Blanding's, shooting it through an aquarium at the Visitors centre.

The Mersey River meanders through the park, and one can't help but slow down to the river's pace while there.

On every trip made there, I come away with different images, a testament to all the park has to offer.

Enjoy,
Gary.
