Ya know...to be honest, I can't recall where I actually took today's boudler pic...geez, a senior moment.  I can't even recall ever seeing the darn thing...maybe Burntside or Jean a couple years ago...anyone know for sure?

Burntside. (Across from the portage to Jean.) Pretty sure anyway but w/o the gull sitting on top it's hard to tell for sure. Wink

I really like todays picture.  It shows a side of canoe country we don't often see in photos -- windy, raw, cold.  I look at that picture and imagine myself huddled down under a tarp, sipping a cup of chicken noodle soup, and beating my buddy (again), in cribbage.

I agree, seems like typical weather we get on a lot of our trips.  I liked the horizontal wind sock; we don't bring a wind sock, but we can tell when the wind is blowing when our tent is horizontal in the wind.    Wink

In deer camp this year, we could tell the wind was blowing when one tent, which had been anchored with no fewer than 14 stakes, suddenly lifted up and took off.

Minutes, later, the second tent became a hot air balloon as well. That one, however, left a few stakes (and half the rain fly) behind.

Of course, that was the evening of the tornado warning ....

But I agree with Starwatcher and Prouboy -- the photo says "Quetico."

Nice.

I hope no one was in them when the blew away!  Shocked

By the way, I like today's photo too; very dramatic sky.  Is another storm heading our way?

Today's photo was from last year, early July, on Yum Yum looking north from the campsite just north of the portage from Grey.  The storm was just north of us and we heard when we returned to Ely a few days later that it had spawned severe thunderstorms and a smallish tornado or two.  Thankfully, we had just a few sprinkles and some moderate wind around midnight.

I have never commented on a pic but this one seems to be compositionally perfect. Extraordinary really. I especially like how the evergreen on the right fingers into and adds depth. A lesser eye would of purposely omitted it (like me Wink ). Well done my friend.
