Summary – Time of Departure: 0700hTime of Arrival: 2030h (+1h)Distance: 1271 km The longest driving day of the trip but thanks to an excellent night of exhausted sleep a breeze compared to the day before. Even a rather grey day with a mirror like surface on Lake of the Woods can’t put off the positive feel …
Summary – Time of Departure: 0700hTime of Arrival: 1930h (+1h)Distance: 1169 km Some travel days are tough. Today was one of those days. The weather mostly good trending towards sunny. A stop in Lake Superior Provincial Park to visit the Old Woman on the Bay always one of my favourite places on this trip. The …
Summary:Time of Departure: 0710hTime of Arrival: 1810hDistance: 848 km The weather for the most part cooperative. A little damp, a little foggy and even a very brief appearance by the sun. A scheduled stop in Blind River for some images of the Mississagi River tumbling down the rocks and into Lake Huron on the north …
Another trip, another adventure soon to start so of course that means pictures. Lots and lots of pictures – so that also means this year a new camera and lens. Long lenses take a bit of getting used to what with their length, their weight, the fact you need to be absolutely still – it’s …

The river has cleared itself of ice very quickly this year. The same day I snapped this image (March 29th) the Seaway opened for shipping. Around here that’s as good a sign of spring as anyting else.
The Snow Geese have arrived. The Canada Geese barely leave but when the snow geese fly in with their distinctive sometimes whistling honk winter may finally be showing herself out. The sighting of these guys was usual when I was growing up in the area but their explosion in numbers has apparently shifted their migration …
The ever present ice fishermen in these parts hand on until the bottom literally drops out on them. I’m always amazed by their dedication to the task at hand and the amount of risk they are willing to accept in pursuit of their endeavours. With this one I failed to “see” the real image until …
