The weather office predicted good weather for today and tomorrow not so much so we decided to do the hike to Balancing Rock today. To get to balancing rock you hike about 1.25 km then walk down 252 steps by our count and of course you have to reverse it get back to the parking lot. On the hike we saw lots of lichen, flowers (including some ladies slippers), trees.

I know, these are ordinary daisies, but they're my favourite and this bunch was pretty.

One of hundred's of seagulls in the area. We think the area is a rookery. We walked through the area and started feeling like it was a scene out of the old Alfred Hitchock movie "The Birds".
