First snow came on thanksgiving over a week ago.
Short lived, but a sign that winter is on its way.
Fall in Canada.

Been on the go these days and it's nice to be back at the headquarters for bit. Earliest first snow i can remember, thanksgiving, family, food, friends, celebration, birth, colours, geese, frost.

Headed back down the shore on Saturday morning expecting the surf to still be pumping. Though it wasn't the hollow overhead glassy pit of perfection that some doodze scored down in Duluth, it was fun and well worth the several hours in the water. Just a couple shots for the time being.


Pulled this shot from Bob Tema's Flickr page, although it may have been taken by Brian Stabinger...either way, glassy and overhead fresh water perfection.

Grey, rainy and winds gusting to 34knot @ E/ ENE. Majorly long hiatus, followed by a kickass start to the season. Started out disorganized, choppy and burly. Had to duck out mid day, but the latest report was that it cleaned up nice and stayed large. Nice rides and more than few taken on the head. Gauging by the fact that the buoy is still up around 12' at 10pm...and the wind is set to shift offshore, makes it seem like it should be good for a saturday morning session.

I won't bother with the full written account of the weekend, since a couple of shots might explain a thing or two....or not.






Good times.

NORTH GALES TO 40 KNOTS. SCATTERED SHOWERS.
WAVES 12 TO 17 FEET SUBSIDING TO 10 TO 14 FEET.


Lakes should be rocking, although a north wind does little for creating waves on our side of the lake obviously. For the rest of the lake surfers though, it could be a different story.
Holdin out for some much anticipated waves later in the week though.

Pretty much a 100 mile diet last sunday night:


Garden fresh potatoes grown in a pail in our backyard, fresh walleye that i caught, garden coleslaw (carrots and cabbage from Boreal Edge Farm), our tomatoes, local corn on the cob, fresh picked comb tooth and pig's ear mushrooms and green and yellow beans (some from our yard, some from Boreal Edge).
I love this time of year.


Now if only we could get some surf up in this. Of course, that might happen this weekend while i am out of town....that would only make sense. Not bitter about the lack of surf...nope, not bitter all (couldn't be more sarcastic).

peace out.

To the woods we go.

A basket full of treats:
Pigs ear, Comb tooth, L.subglabripes and Aspsopp

the foragers...
(note the ecstatic look of the women on the cover of the field guide)


Comb tooth (Hericium coralloides) prior to saute event

Leccinum subglabripes...awaiting the drying rack.

While some are better left alone on the forest floor
