Revisiting Heaven

Ok, I just got back yesterday from a 4 day trip up near sudbury and it was AWESOME. Check out some of the pics. They say it all.

Caught a nice 3 lbs smallmouth at the end of the portage after throwing in a frog and seeing it get eaten within seconds. Score!

This isn't me in the boat but I thought it looked really cool. This picture defines Muskoka.


My tent at sunrise. Too hot to put the fly on and to not have the windows open.



Sunset panoramic


Damselfly?


Roughing it as I lifeguard from my hammock.


Sunrise on McConnel Bay.


Woke up and listened to some tunes before the chaos of the day began.


I was trying to capture how blue the water was, I think this and the next few pictures show it off pretty well. It was like paddling in kool-aid.


This is me underwater, the camera was above the water but since there were no ripples it looks awesome!

This is the shadow of my canoe on the bottom of the lake and me looking overboard.

We saw a bald eagle (my second of the summer) and I managed to get a picture of it after scrambling for my camera in the canoe for a minute. Hence the grainy picture... oh well, I was just happy I have proof.


We got this entire beach to ourselves after like 8 hours of paddling. So worth it though!


The classic family portrait.



Paradise Lagoon


Silvester Lake, the contrasting colours here are phenomenal.


Birch forest on the way up to wolf lake lookout.


Wolf lake lookout early one morning before I woke the kids up. ahhhh.....


Wolf lake sunset. click on this one. the size here doesn't do it justice.

Hello there,
I'm a tripper for camp Kandalore and I just noticed that picture of one of our canoes you took. I was evacuated onto the trip that lost this canoe last year. A camper boat tipped and got this boat tremendously pinned. We tried to get it out but indeed the water was way too pushy so we ended up abandonning it. It was around August 3rd if I remember correctly...

Sounds about right. I would've loved to pull it out but no dice. too much water. How'd you find the blog?
