Foto Finish - Feet

Oh oh!  I have the perfect picture!  Probably the only feet picture I have actually now that I think of it.
A lazy afternoon on Gull Lake, Ontario, Canada.  Everyone else was napping i the house.  I took my Coleman chair down to the back of the boat at the dock.  A 7&7, my book, and the beautiful day.

BTW a few minutes after I took the feet picture I saw something swimming toward me from the right.  It swam with in feet of the back of the boat.  Can you tell what they are?

A family of three otters!

Foto Finish-Look up



I love to look up and see the way the light shines through leaves.  These were taken from the porch of the cabin we stayed in on Gull Lake in Ontario, Canada.  I was looking up into the trees.

Foto finish-favorite places

Gull Lake, Ontario Canada.  My favorite place on earth.  This is the morning we left after spending our vacation there just two weeks ago.  It is my place of fun, my place of renewal, my place of wildness, my place of memories, my place of peace. And yes this is where when I die I want my ashes spread.

My favorite activity on Gull Lake is kayaking the back creeks and bays.

Foto Finish-Wildlife
So I went on a little kayak trip today on Mom and Dad's lake.  I met this guy when I trapped him with my crab net.  As you can see he was not so happy with me.  The following pictures were taken with my iphone 3gs and are better then I thought they would be.

Bottom of the turtle. 
Funny thing is on the way home I had to stop and move a box turtle from the middle of the road.  But I forgot to take a picture.

This is a video of me releasing said wildlife and explaining why the lake is so low.

My usual feet (very muddy) and kayak bow shot.

One of the exposed stumps. worn smooth by the water.

This tree is usually floating just under the water.

This stump is just off the ladder from our dock,  It is fun to stand on when its in about 4.5 feet of water

This is Princess Jasmine or Jazzy Girl as I like to call her.  My Dad's baby who I freed from the basement to frolic with me down by the lake.  There was a lot of wildlife to see off of the dock
small water turtles
large snapping turtles
blue heron
sand pipers
ducks
Canada geese
bass
minis
giant carp

And here is the trash I collected. 

I could only speculate on the axe head laying in the remains of a formerly submerged stump.  Was it once stuck in the tree?

And here is me with my (muddy)feet up, in the sun, with a strong breeze, reading my book, with Jazzy Girl purring at my side.

And one last picture of wildlife

a ladybug on the dock.

Foto Finish-Family

Cat Patches asked for shots on family and I immediately thought of this photo.
From left to right are my sister Kelly, My Grandpa Jack , my mom Sylvia, and my dad Glenn.  This was taken about 3 years ago in our favorite place on earth-Gull Lake, Canada.  We have been gong there since I was 3 years old.  What I love about this photo are the expressions of the faces framed by the beauty of the sky and water.  It always makes me smile.
