I'll quote Patrick McManus, "The Fishing Lesson,"... Finley wanted to keep all his lures arranged in neat little piles arranged according to function , size, color, etc.

"With my lures, I just keep them  all dumped together down in the bottom of the box.  Then all I got to do is grab one of them and they all come out in a big clump.  I just turn the big clump around till I find something that looks good and plunk it off.  You're gonna waste a lotta time pokin' around through all them compartments."

Nice phote prouboy!

I assume that's a De Havilland Beaver

Is that a telephoto shot, or are you water skiing?   Smiley

Attached is my version of the De Havilland Beaver that landed on Tanner Lake on our previous trip up the Maligne River in the Quetico.

Thanks Starwatcher...

I took that picture while sitting in a canoe, watching as the Beaver landed to pick us up, after 9 days in Woodland Caribou Park.  The water was as calm as glass.   We were excited to see the plane at the end of a fantastic trip. 

I used my trusty Olympus 770SW to take the shot.  It has a small telephoto, but not much.  It has great optics, and is as sturdy as it gets.

Aaaaahh!  Beautiful.  It's a foggy morning here in Michigan, too, but it isn't nearly that pretty where I am.  No sun to light up the mist.  And no lake.  Sigh.

Now if only you could have hear the loon serenade that was going on at the time that pic was snapped...

Without a doubt, that was one of the best mornings I ever spent in the park.  I often use this pic as wallpaper on my PC at work and it takes me back to that trip every time.

I suppose that is one of the best things about the photography for me, Snow_Dog.  There are so many shots that can take me back to a place and time.  And now that you have shared that, I can almost hear the loons, myself.   Smiley

 Seasoned paddlers prefer the word "confused" too "lost" Wink
I've been confused for hours at a time but never "lost"!
