How about a photo thread called: "why didn't I think of that?" that features pics of unique, ingenious, inventive, or resourceful ideas that are really cool and smart.

Ca-nudes... Naked canoes, posed provocatively ;) ...

Not to be confused with CA nudes, That's a whole different genre, eh?

Some of the coolest things I have seen in the BWCA have been exploring behind the campsite...birds, wildlife, water features, spiders and spiderwebs, fungi, flowers and massive berry patches to name a few. So how about "What's in the woods behind camp" ?

Best Latrine ambiance? (View from the throne)

Foggy, misty morning views

Exploring the little details (Macro shots of cool things most people probably miss)

Amazing color in the clouds (sunrise or sunset)

Reflections...the pic you can turn upside down and it looks real

Just a few random thoughts for something different
