Bitter-sweet…

…our last mindfulness photography session at Five Islands Provincial Park this afternoon was a windy event! The waves were crashing onto the shore with the tide approaching their highest levels. We caught one last glimpse at the 200 million year old dinosaur print first spotted last Monday:
