Rock Glen

Click image for more photos

My friend Charles Dunham had us do an early spring drive to the west of the city - Lambton Shores and Lake Huron. We visited the pretty water falls on the Ausable River at the Rock Glen Conservation area near Arkona on Lambton Shores, the spring flowers at the nearby Tiedje Woods (Thames Talbot Land Trust), and the beach at Port Franks. 

I had never been to the Tiedje Woods or even heard of the Thames Talbot Land Trust. Charles, as a long time naturalist and hiker, was my guide. He likes to explore the woods.

Charles got to take some pictures and get out of the city.

It was a good day for both of us. I got to play with my old Minolta Dimage A1 (5mp) and my new Canon Rebel XTi (10mp). Hard to tell which takes better pictures. I was experimenting with taking raw images on the Canon but gave up on that soon after.
