Lawson Lake








A fairy tale road into the forest
wish this was our driveway



we always love going to this little lake




It is completely surrounded by new growth forest




we had to cut a trail to the lakeside for access




I'm getting real tired of this tough stuff



 







we built a great little dock
with some old fencing we had brought 




now it was easy access into the canoe




you could say it's our lake for now











often the clouds would drift by very quickly 
making for some great lighting




what a fantastic morning



a dragon fly and his damsel



a sunny bluff to watch the clouds drift by


misty morning






these conditions made for a cool shot



then I got this one playing with the camera



yikes...that was a nice fish



so this is what they're after


 







time for the the infamous 
"Tom Thumb"



  
lets give it a try




in no time we had ourselves a trout




two nice ones for dinner that night



completely still and so peaceful




a wonderful loon family




and a beaver dam too




even when it rains its beautiful






and then a rainbow makes it all worth while




sometimes this is our best fishing weather




We love the Red Winged Black Bird




nice time to read a book by the lake shore



such a natural setting




a colourful evening for a quiet paddle










getting chilly...time to say good night 
and spoon together in our warm camper



It's tricky to get down to the lake but well worth it

  1. Russ, these photos are simply STUNNING!

    I have not seen a better portrait of a Sayward Forest lake. Your post truly opens a window on this wonderful piece of paradise. It really is a gem, the exact word I myself have used for this lake.

    Thanks for the dock, by the way, I'm trying to remember if it was there when we visited this summer. I think so, but will have to look back at my photos. Now you have inspired me to post a companion post to this beautiful effort. Well done!
