Georgian Bay Pines
Georgian Bay
A pine spreads its branches on a small rocky island. The wind helps shape it. All around, the water of Georgian Bay stretches far and wide.
Did you know?
White pines bent by the wind are a common sight on these islands.
Look together
Which way do the branches seem to lean?
An idea to try
Draw two trees: one straight and one shaped by the wind.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
The exposed shores of Georgian Bay’s islands combine Canadian Shield rock with plants suited to demanding conditions. Prevailing winds influence the shapes of white pines. This landscape is an original composition; it reproduces neither a painting nor one specifically named island.
