We left at dawn from Fishdance Lake to make our way to Kekekabic Lake on a Sunday this July. The sunrise sifting through the mist on the water was ethereal.

Canadian wildfires gave us an interesting sunrise on Horseshoe (big rock site) on 6/17/23. We were departing and I couldn't get down to the lake level easily to get a more symmetrical reflection without wading around to the front of the big rock. Also, of the 30 or so frames I took, no picture was without at least one mosquito in it.

After a long day of paddling, lake after lake of full campsites, and finally finding and setting up camp on Kawishiwi, we got this sunset. Perfect way to end the last full day of the trip.

Great photo! I had a similar shot that I wanted printed out in a large format (24 x 48), but couldn't see spending the crazy amount of money on a typical print/mount. Found this product: website - https://bayphoto.com/wall-displays/xpozer/


Pretty inexpensive, with great results.... if you're into printing out your photos.

Senior Trip 2020 - 3 dads and their sons. The plan had been to go to Isle Royale but Covid stopped the ferry. This photo was taken the day after the "mid-latitude cyclone" blew through. We arrived at our island campsite just as the wind was picking up and spent the next day hunkered down. The following morning was calm with fog slowly drifting across the lake. I took this photo just as the sun started to peek through.
