	Thanks Lynda, That's on an island campsite on the North end of Alice Lake. I've had a couple other photos already posted that I took that same misty morning. I love being the first one up in our group and watching the sun come up. Other members of our group appreciate waking up to the warm fire and fresh brewed coffee I provide from my early rise habit. starwatcher

	THis may not be the right forum but in the Last POD you were talking about spiders. Here is one we found on our tent overall it was about he size of a fifty cent piece and the "Shell" on its back was about the size of a quarter. Any insight as to this creature?

	I don't know its scientific name- we always referred to it as the "time to move your camp" spider.

It is currently COLDER here than in Green Bay or Milwaukee and the ground is all white (probably more ice than snow) and the wind chill is below zero! Hard to believe I was paddling over the weekend in temps around 78 degrees. dd It'll be -20 here with windchill of -25 tonight. Tomorrow it's supposed to get up to +10, but the windchill -35. Glad I got my outside work done today. I think we'll stay above zero tonight (low forecast is for between 4 - 5 degrees). High tomorrow will be perhaps a half-dozen degrees higher than you. Hopefully we'll miss out of the 50 mph winds we had around here today. Texas doesn't get too many -20 degree days ... only remember a few from my high school days. dd

	Thanks - BTW we're fresh out of PODs as of today. People often email and say here's a link to a bunch, feel free to go grab a few. That doesn't work out so well for me. I'd much rather people email the actual shots THEY would like to share as PODs.

	I'm not real picky. Using the email address found by using the "Submit Photos" link helps keep me somewhat organized though. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Captions are optional. However any one wants to do that is fine by me. Ideally, images need be only slightly larger than the displayed PODs which are normally 650 pixels wide. Level horizons are always a plus . If someone who knows what they are doing and sends 650px wide, web compressed jpgs that weigh in at roughly 100K or less (depending on subject matter), that would be awesome. Not a big deal though.

	I expect he means compositionally. Most here would probably say the rock one was boring. My instant thought was, ooh that's nice. Funny. Professionally, I've always enjoyed this quote: "I am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. To photograph reality is to photograph nothing." ~Duane Michals For PODs though, even the realities of camp or people holding fish work well. I just show whatever people choose to offer.

	Hi, folks. Not to take anything away from Jennifer, my wife of 22 years, who has taught me almost everything I know and kept me alive and kicking all these years, but the photos are actually mine. I sent them to DB via our home email, which, of course, is in Jen's name. Most were taken with a simple point and shoot camera. Glad you enjoy...it's fun to find the time to take photos and share with others. Rich.

	I suspect that you are correct mastertanger, that Marlin did confirm my post. I suppose he could have stated how he liked the photo, and not just quote me. I didn't intent to raise a ruckus, but the seemed to me to imply that it wasn't sincere when I was sincere. starwatcher I like rock and lichen photos (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	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. prouboy

	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.

	Quote: we can tell when the wind is blowing when our tent is horizontal in the wind 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. -- kypaddler

	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 ). Well done my friend.

	I like todays POD more than I think I should. I mean, it's just a photo of rocks, trees, and water. Been there, done that, right? So can somebody tell me WHY I like this pic? I think understanding why I like it would make me a better photographer. Visual art is not my forte. I try hard but... Or if you think I'm way off base and it IS just a boring pic of rocks, trees, and water then...well...nevermind I guess. Replies from El Tigre are neither requested nor required.

	Love it as well! I think why it's so compelling even though it's just " a photo of rocks, trees, and water. Been there, done that, right? ", is becasue of the way it's composed. I'd call it a " artsy" photograph for lack of a better word. Some people can master the technical aspects of photography, but without an " eye" for it, you can never quite get it right

So can somebody tell me WHY I like this pic? I think understanding why I like it would make me a better photographer. Visual art is not my forte. I try hard but... Okay, as an amateur artist; here’s my read on the design elements: The center of interest are light areas; (the sky on the horizon). The line of grass, dark cloud fingers, horizon and the shore line point and lead you to the center of interest. The dark trees and clouds frame the picture. Dramatic Design elements include putting dark against light (The dark sky and the horizon against the center of interest); And warm colors against cool ( The pink water against the light blue sky) And complementary colors are pleasing to the eye ( reddish brown grass and brush against the green trees) Now, don’t analysis it; just look it and enjoy it. starwatcher

	Thanks, Starwatcher, for helping me see it. I guess that's the difference between artists and a dunderhead like me. Artists instinctively see that kind of stuff, I guess, whereas most of that would not have occurred to me at all. Heck, I'm pretty sure that I never would have even considered taking out my camera there, much less getting the composition right. Still, I like to believe I can learn. It'll never come naturally but maybe someday I can see at least some of the shots I've been missing AND manage to not screw up the composition too badly.

	Chicken and dumplings this night. Punctuated with singing boreal owls, a death squeal, and a juvenile loon. A fine end to a balmy 60's day in mid October, the winds came the next day.

	The seeing is the magic, part of the journey. We all have eyes and noggins to ponder with, I hope. Maybe it is about the journey, that perspective that is generated; pulled on through so many inputs and outputs. Me I am just playfully seeking beauty, but desiring to walk through the threshold of the present to something more and seeing and sharing, you only know, as I go. Does anyone shoot large format here? Because that is a place that i would like to go.

(Who will help me eat the fish, said The Little Red Hen) Last time I went fishing I cast my rod, hook, line and sinker overboard never to be seen again. If anyone finds them, please let me know. We all have are special talents and all can work as a team to have a successful trip. (I notice the date on the quote is from Dec 31st, 1969.

	Yes, while on a walk in the woods behind the campsite, we found this makeshift place to sit. It would be a great place to read and watch everything around you. It was in a low spot. I only sat for a moment, but I'm sure the person who put it together spent some time there......
