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
Russ, these photos are simply STUNNING!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
