Leaning Over

Here is another shot of Silent Lake during the day - this red pine valiently clinging to the rock as it leans gracefully over the water. Our 15 km hike was pretty good - but I think it would have been even better in the fall with all the hardwood trees turning colour amongst patches of green (hemlocks, pines etc). Besides.. unlike some other provinces I know - this part of Ontario is generally bug free in September.
