My wife took this picture on a calm afternoon in Quetico Park.

I took this picture one evening on Lake 3.

This photo of a Minnesota Wild Rose was taken this Monday, June 5th, on Larch Lake

Darkey Lake, Quetico, 2005

Taken on Rose Lake this May. My favorite spot for a hammock. Exposure was 1/4 sec at f/8 and I used a graduated neutral density filter and tried boucing a flash off the tree limbs above. Seemed to work.

Oyster lake first week of June this year I wish the lake trout fishing was as good as the scenery

One of those wonderful BW moments. A early evening storm blew in and had us pinned down under our kitchen tarp for a couple of hours. We were just about to call it a night when the rain stopped and we were rewarded with this wonderful site from our camp on lake Polly on our last night out the Thursday after Memorial Day.

chott1 - I absolutely love that picture. In fact, I made it the background on my desktop. Thanks for sharing, it brought back wonderful memories of my trip out of Mudro last summer :o)

Great bunch of photos this month!

This is Jean Lake June 2006

ShimmieShakes - Thanks for the feedback. I am glad you enjoyed the picture. After tackling that portage between Sandpit and Mudro the photo almost didn't get taken. However, I convinced my canoe partner that taking photos is a nice way to rest before venturing onward. I think too often we rush over the portages to get to that perfect site or lake and "miss the forest through the trees".

This panoramic photo was taken on 6/22/06 on Lake Three on a beautiful evening.

Taken the morning of June 10, 2006 on Lake Gabbro

Alas...Mudro (from the Fourtown portage) 7-01-05

Sneidl12,

That is a beauty! You've really captured a moment of wilderness and solitude. I'm headed to Disappointment in August. Thanks for the preview!
