This week I was away for work in Eastern Ontario with
Pat, and we had a great time bushwacking and exploring this unique part of the province. I've posted a few pictures for your enjoyment!

Our reward for traipsing through the bush and up the hills, a nice view from the top!
We also saw lots of butterflies!

And finally, the wildlife highlight of the trip, a Five-lined Skink!! We flipped a rock and there she was! Extremely fast and hard to catch, but her bright blue tail didn't do her any favours in hiding!

Five-lined Skink! |
This is the habitat that this species can be found in, rock barrens with lots of rocks to hide under.
Another great trip in Eastern Ontario, I can't wait to be back!
