I have a guest staying with me from New Zealand and took him to Point Pelee today. We had fun walking the boardwalk, swimming in Erie's "polluted" waters and traversing the tip - Canada's most southern point (mainland).

This is the tip which this year is partly washed under. Last year it disappeared and now it is coming back.

Wow. Nice pics and nice place! Hows the fishing there? Looks that place should be crawling with'em...
 
Gorgeous pics. I love the pics of the lilly pads, it just seems like an endless sea of them.
 
Awsome pics... Love the Dragon Fly

How were the black flies?

I love taking the kids out there, haven't been out there this summer but we were there in the spring.I am trying to get the youngins(4&5) into field Herping with me,

Hey Jimi, No black flies, but the stable flies were out on the beach. Nasy little biters!

Great fishing in Lake Erie - walleye capitol of the world!
 
Stunning pics as always. I don't know how you get the detail in your photos but keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing.
 
Excellent pictures, kgd. Thanks for sharing.

BTW, those pink/purple flowers with the Wild Turkeys look like Bouncing Bet (Saponaria officinalis) a natural soap substitute and because of the saponins, would probably work as a fish poison as well.

I especially like the picture of the Red-winged Blackbird, one of my favourite feathered critters.

Man, thats gorgeous! I'm dying to drag a topwater lure out of those lillies and see what comes up after it.

Click to expand...

probly either a Northern pike or largemouth Bass, you can jig for yellow perch and crapie

Fishing regs at the park are harsh,(no lead, no barbed hooks, not outside baits or scents):grumpy: when I was a kid we use to fish there no problem, now not so much.

We use to use baits that looked like the local frogs and just flip them on to lilly pads and slowly pull them in to the water.

did alot of ice fishing there to when I was a kid.

Thanks for sharing the great pics, I really like the dragonfly.

Walkways like that are a great way to enjoy large wetlands.
