Three of us were up on Crooked Lake.  My buddy and I go out to fish across the lake as the sun is setting.  We hear my wife who stayed back in camp to read yelling "Give me back my (bleep)ing fish!"  Both of us turn towad each other and simultaneously say "Turtle", laugh a good bit, and keep fishing.  My wife had also assumed that the turtles wouldn't get that big.

Thanks for your kind comments, W-I-F.

But perhaps the boat is not the same one you saw on your recent trip? All of these pics were taken in the second week of July on the Beaverhouse - Jean - Boulder - Badwater - Robin - West Bay - Beaverhouse loop, not close to Carp Lake at all. Besides, I never take breaks! 

The design is a Bear Mountain "Redbird", a bit distinctive because of the recurved bow and stern (styled after Ojibwa rice harvesting canoes). It's fairly popular among stripper builders, so it could well be my boat has a twin patrolling Q's southern waters.

Fabulous damselfly  photo today!!

That would be nice.  We are headed out tomorrow, so perhaps I will find something to photograph in six days.  Who knows?

Thanks Mike for the nice series of geology photos.  Nice textures.  Some are difficult to judge the scale without the obvious tree or lichen.
