Hi everyone...
I'm back, or rather we're back, from a mini vacation. Took a trip to this place for a few days R&R. I absolutely love it up there. And I say up there 'cause it's about 300kms north of us. Beautiful, picturesque, peaceful... a nature lover's paradise.
Between Wes & myself we took about 500 photos, so we'll be in "Lou mode" while we sort all this stuff out. 
But... in the meantime enjoy some Blueberries. They're delicious..!!
I might as well use this opportunity to plug a track called Synthetic Universe that I made for this. I didn't win, naturally, but I thought the challenge was fun.
Anywho...
Hope everyone's well.
L8R
Steve

Photo-set is up. Check it out if you're at all curious. Lots of waterfall shots, some flora to see and even a shot of me and the mrs (plus one kidlet) relaxing by the lake.

Be sure to keep a lookout for Falcor and King Kong. They appear magically in a couple shots...

Nice photos! It's so hot here today that I turned on the fan while I looked at your photos, just trying to imagine the breeze coming off of the lake. 
This morning Gideon told me that you had posted a bunch of awesome pics. I laughed and said "Of course he did...just to spite me!" The first step for me was getting them all organized, now I have to post them. I was just outside watching a dragonfly in our yard and I almost ran in the house to get my camera, but then I stopped and remembered: no more photos until I post some that I already have!
Thanks, as always, for sharing!

The breeze off the lake (and soaking our feet) was awesome. Especially after the hike back to the spot where we are in that picture (very remote, only get there by foot).

I know I have been saying this for MONTHS, but, assuming I feel up to it, tonight I will get the pics up. Steve has once again slapped me in my photographic face, and if I hope to retain any credibility at all, I must reply in like!
You just make Canada look nicer and cooler and more and more beautiful everytime you post your photos...thank you so much!

What do you mean by 'Falcon' and 'King Kong'? Did you pose your kids toys in the pic? I looked at the one you mentioned and I did not see anything odd...

Falcor is the Luck Dragon from the movie "Neverending Story". Just thought it looked like him and for fun it might be worth seeing if anyone else sees it and.............
