Funny photo Blackstick. The flag on their tip-up appears to be up, but for some reason, they don't seem to care all that much. I think the bottle bass bite was on. LOL!

From our island on Lake Three, this was taken on 9/7/2008, the day after we canoed through and set up camp during the 10 inch deluge.

Mesaba: Don't want to discount your paddle through the rain (as I too paddled through that deluge), but your pic is on the wrong side of summer for this month's contest...
I do like how the rainbow cuts the water into two shades of gray.

Not an entry, but I wanted to post this picture of the same location as wetcanoedog's only two months later (8/1/2007). I thought it interesting to see how much taller the cattails were in that time.

I guess the pink lady slippers (moccasin flowers) say "spring" to me more than anything else. These were on the portage to Horseshoe Lake back in June of '01. They were there on our way across, and I was pleased to see them there on our way back eight days later!

Congratulations to the winners! And thank you everyone for posting a photo and brighting up an otherwise chilly/snowy Spring.

Mr. Barley--Fabulous shot!!
Mesaba--yours is amazing, too. But I am puzzled as to how you have already shot a photo on 9/07/2008?? :-)

Not the BW or Q, but this little guy just woke up from hibernation today and was walking in circles on our backyard pond. He told me spring was right around the corner.

Spring brings out the bears. So you always need a good bear tree.

Admittedly, not the BWCA but a beautiful Spring Day in the St. Regis Wilderness Canoe Area in the Adirondacks, 10 days after ice out. Dang, we are getting close now.
