First off is a bad pic of me, complete with the playoff "beard" and the new lifejacket :)

Now THATS waterfront property!

I ended up having to paddle back UP those rapids after I carelessly ventured too far downstream...

Lakes don't get much calmer than this

Another picture of extremely calm lake conditions

A neat picture of ripples in the lake distorting the reflection of the clouds

Yet another day with perfect conditions and not another soul on the lake.

A couple pictures of the birds that hang out on the lakes around here. Beleive it or not, it can be extremely difficult to get in position to get a good shot of these things!

All the pictures were taken with a relatively cheap (~$300 Canadian) 3.2MP Fujifilm S3000. Only "upgrade" I've got on the camera is a 1GB memory card.

Man, that's beautiful scenery!

Is that in fact Cold Lake?

Ya, I like going out by myself. No arguing over who's not paddling enough, no "my arms are getting sore" and all that kind of stuff.

Theses were actually taken on a couple different, much smaller lakes near Cold Lake. Cold Lake is pretty damn big and can be pretty scary in a little canoe if the wind picks up!
