Still morning Sunrise on Lake La Croix,

Taken at about 6:00 am on June 29, 2006 as you leave the bay where the Ranger Station is after the portage from Boulder Bay to Lake La Croix, paddling toward Bottle Portage...

Now this was an awesome camping spot - Little Caribou Lake, sometime this summer

You're killing me! It's only 9/7 and we've got awesome photos up on the messageboard. It's like I should wait till next month to add my own photo! I'm going to have to really dig into my files to find a good one....

Fully loaded tow boat on Beatty Portage.

ely bound,

that is really a cool picture.

Thought I would give this one another chance. It was a very calm morning on Wagosh Lake.

ely bound,

Great picture.

This is a picture of my service dog, Dixie, sitting on rocks above the Kawishiwi River.

Lots of great pix this month.
Ely Bound, WOW! I have to agree, very nice shot.

Peak Fall Colors - Quetico, Agnes Lake

Watch your step! The put-in at the end of the portage from Beartrap River to Peterson Bay, Iron Lake.

The majesty and beauty of this place never ceases to amaze me. Thanks everyone for sharing these terrific images with the rest of us!

Fire on Pine Portage Bay peninsula - our Quetico trip 9/10 - 9/16. It was amazing to see the smoke from this fire from a couple miles away and then get right up to it as we paddled our way to Dore' Lake just about 6 days ago!

Uncle Moose....That is an awesome shot!

Misty,

I'm sure glad that my fire wasn't that huge! If the smoke I saw was as big as your picture, no way would I have gotten right up near the shoreline to take pictures! I was only 8 feet away. Your fire would have melted my canoe! :-)

Nice photo!

Fall Colors at the North end of Angleworm

Ensign Lake wolf

canoepaddle,

Seeing a wolf in the wild is a rarity. But getting a shot like that...nicely done!

Thanks to all! Congrats to Ely Bound! There are some talented and timely photographers in the group no doubt.

Good pick. That was my favorite one also.

Ely Bound,

Congratulations, that was a great shot!

Ditto, Ely Bound.

When I first saw your photo, I knew we had a winner too. Great job!

Ely bound

Great job, I had a feeling that that photo was the winner.

Congrats to Ely Bound. I'm still trying to figure out how you got all the waves to look like clouds. From my experience it would never be calm enough for a reflection. Seems like the wind is always blowing from the direction I'm going.

Ely Bound,

I knew yours was a winner the first time I looked at it. Awesome shot!

Thanks a lot for all of the comments about the September photo! She is sitting on a rock outcropping about six feet above the water, at a campsite on Lake Two. Opportunities like this are one of the many things I like about the Boundary Waters. After this photo was taken we canoed into Lake Three. The clouds eventually lightened up, but the water surface stayed mirror-smooth. Spectacular place.
