Only seven more months

[bb07]

...until I see this again. With a long cold winter here once again I thought I would show some of this past summers photos. Looking at them makes me feel warmer already. Although the smilies are gone, trust me, I'm smiling!
How I miss seeing the pure water and sand beaches

Here a piece of driftwood under water has a strange look

A nice shady spot to look out over the lake

A favourite view

A calm evening

Nearing the end of another beautiful day

An aerial view of the area

From the top of a hill on a glorious sunny day

Another hill top view

A windy day. Though it's hard to see in the pic, there are some big waves out there

Almost dark, another of my favourites, one I've shown before

I always liked rainbows-even 1/2 rainbows!

On a happier note, tonight's low temperature forecast has been revised from -30C to -26C. See, it is getting warmer!

Beautiful pics. Thanks for sharing. If you get a chance I think that area might (LOL. Actually I'm SURE it WILL) make some winter photos just as beautiful.

I'm tempted to say " you don't know how lucky you are "..but I think you do know................................4 to 5 months of deep snow & biting winds....... sounds good to me...................spending winter in a cold, damp, grey & drafty/draughty city..........that's misery.( smiley here).

Magnificent photos by the way....

Beautiful pics, but it would kill me to stand on the shore and not be able to get out on that water!

Nice pictures, it is sandier than around here, and flatter than where I am now. Pretty country.

Those sandy shallows must be interesting in high wind/waves!

Yes, floatplane in the summer is the simplest, but there are other ways, just a lot more work!
The easiest is in the winter. Once the lakes have frozen over, travel by snowmobile is a pleasure (sometimes, depending on conditions)

I should edit to add that although we have a cabin in the area, and spend as much time as possible there, we don't live there year round yet , but would in an instant if money allowed.

I am coming to live with you, simple as that.

Thanks for sharing

I'm not familiar with it, no. The most commonly used floatplanes in this area are the Cessna 180 & 185, and the good old workhorses, the DeHavilland Beaver, Otters and Twin Otters. If you like bushplanes, have a look here: http://www.bush-planes.com/

What part of Saskatchewan? (that's where I am)
The latest forecast is for much warmer temps for the next few days.

I can accommodate you but only with last winters' pics.

Here I'm on the trail early, crossing a lake with the sun just about to come up. My skidoo light is my camera flash

Up comes the sun over a silent, frozen landscape

A bright frosty day

A sunny day in the jack pine

This small tamarack looks barren amongst the black spruce

A snowshoe trail

April first-after a long winter i could feel spring coming
