This choice was a pleasant surprise. I was focusing on my lake, sunset/sunrise, animal pics and came across this one that I was going to overlook. I got a great memory of how I was feeling at the moment.

This was somewhere in the Ada Lake region in 2010 and as we wound our way through this narrow stretch I was struck with how I was being swallowed up by the wilderness. It was the lush green, the closed in feeling, and not being able to see the lead canoe at times that gave the kind of feeling that I go to the BW to get.
