Adventure Retreats- Alexis Burnett
As the seasons change I am captivatedmy the
beauty of early summer in theNorth. Many birds are setting up newterritories and to lay eggs and raise theiryoung fledglings hidden in the arms of trees and the cover of thickets and fieldedges. As each new day begins we ariseto the sound of birds singing theirthanksgiving songs as the night turns intoday.It also reminds me of the summers pad-dling season and the many days andnights spent exploring the many lakesand rivers
Algonquin Park
. I am alreadythinking ahead to our first trip of the sea-son
