Long Island Lake

August 1991

Chilly, that's wonderful. It's going straight to my wallpaper rotation.

Same here. That photo is now my desktop wallpaper.

I love the pictures of the trees in the fog.

Chilly,

Wow. I'm doing a fall trip next year. Hope I can get a pic half as beautiful.

I'm not going to bother to look through old pics, I know Chilly's pic is a "Winner." One of the prettiest I've seen! WW

A portage landing along the Moose River, mid Sept.



This one is not for the contest but if you look in the first photo near the top of the dead pine (upper right middle of photo). On the longer branch going to the right you'll see a spot on the branch. This photo is zoomed in on the top of that tree.

South Lake off the Echo Trail.

2008 trip to Maine. Is it ok to submit photoes that aren't from the BWCA or Quetico?

Oyster-Hustler portage during September 2009. A beaver flooded a portion of the portage, which we waded through.

Sunset on Red Rock Lake - taken on September 15th, 2010, just south and west of Saganaga

When I saw the Red Maple Leaves I had no choice but to sing the first few lines of "O Canada"


O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Sing Along!

Portage to Disappointment (I think) in October 1992.
Jeans. A windbreaker. A duffle bag. I had no idea what I was doing :)

And the Aqua plaid flannel shirt! I wonder how many trips I've seen you wearing that shirt. Does it still go with or did it shrink? ;-)

Ahhh fall in the Bwca!

Note the canoe rest in the upper left hand corner on Snakecharmers photo. that really dates it.

Along the Sawbill Trail

I would have had some nice pics from my Sept trip...but my CANOE PARTNER FORGOT THE MEMORY CARD FOR THE CAMERA!!! It's ok, I'm not bitter...

sorry these arent bwca so i dont expect them to be entered in the contest...but i just wanted to share. the first one is along the SHT near finland. and the second is a frost covered marigold from my garden.

hikesK8sno.........that pic is beautiful!

This Photo was taken as two members of my group returned from an evening paddle on Pocket lake as the sunset reflected a beatiful bronze off the water taken 9/15/2010.
