So long winter.

It may have been one of the longest and coldest winters in a long time; yet i can't say that i mind.  Something about embracing it, that makes it all that much better.

Here is but a snippet of what went down.

O. becoming very proficient on the xc skis by the end of the season.

A few brutal cold outings to ice some fish on the big lake.

 Clear skies and boreal landscapes.

Successful harvest and fun times

 

 American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis) visiting our yard the last couple of days.  This and the flowing rivers being proof that spring is finally here.

 Just when this little niche in the interwebs was about to be forgotten, i finally decided that on this 9 degrees Centigrade evening in July, i would park my never stopping self in front of the computer to edit up some images.  So here are a couple from that last while..and by a while, i mean several months.

My cousin Thomas (T$) ventured out to chase some chromers.  Some were had.   

What better than a rainy weekend to run around chasing brook trout?

Unfortunately, not many were had this day.  But is was nice and wet if nothing else.

Here, Fritz and i decided chucking streamers for lake trout wouldn't be a bad idea.  It was entertaining. 

Skip to the July long weekend.

Fun in the sun with the family and a glassy morning on Superior catching a few nice trout.

Sometimes you just need to hang out at the beach.

The Sørlandet at Lake Superior Day down at the harbour here in Thunder Bay.

Trolling for salmon...with Lutsen the dog as my first mate.

As usual, keep it real and get outside.

peace out all.

Latest spring we've seen in many years, but things have started to move along now.

Chromers abound.

Beautiful, crisp saturday morning on the river yielded several gorgeous fish...some that had spawned, others fresh from the lake. just me and the water obsessed Boykin and spring steel...good times.

Finally an update. I'll admit, more time outside than sitting in front of the computer screen dorkin with blogs and photos. It's just that time of year. Still jacked about seeing U2 last sunday in Winnipeg. That was quite the show to share. Rock stars or not, their music has resonated with me since i was a kid and continues to give me the shivers..particularly live. hell yeah!

A big dirty steelhead in clear water.

Engineering at its finest.




be well.
