Black Snake Root

This late summer bloomer, Black Snake Root, sure attracts the bees, who, I'm sure, are ecstatic as there are few flowers in bloom this time of year.

Lake Shore Grasses

These lake shore grasses look like stalks of gold.

Float Plane

Here's the float plane I was on from which I took the pictures posted below.  She's a 50 year old beauty.

Lake Nipissing

Here's a view from our float plane flight the other day of Lake Nipissing looking west towards the Manitou Islands and the French River.

Trout Lake

I went for a float plane flight yesterday afternoon with Butcher Brophey.  We flew over the city for a bit and then flew east over Trout Lake and down the Mattawa River system.  This a view looking east over Trout Lake.

Blue Flag

I love these flowers, and, unfortunately, so do the deer.

Summer Dock

It's been a fabulous summer for spending time on the dock and in the water - sure hope it continues for much longer.

French River Morning

What a beautiful view to wake up to, from our Upper French River canoe/kayak trip in June.

French River Sunset

Sunset on the French River June 28, 2016 - another great canoe trip with Freight Train and the Butcher.

Full Moon

Full moon over Trout Lake on the Summer Solstice.
