A picture perfect morning for some canoeing!

Sunrise over "Pink Cadillac", Algonquin Park

This is a beautiful lake we stayed at during our canoe trip in Massasauga Provincial park.

When you're bringing up the rear, the view is always the same.

I hear they arrange themselves from small to large on alternate Thursdays.

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

In the sense that it's a quick hop, skip and a jump to get back to nature, the Ich is the way to go.

Of course, you want to plan your trip accordingly, depending on the time of year.

Alaska Trip - 2016: 'Bergies' calved from the Pedersen Glacier

This little pocket has it all: it's out of the current, the shallow water has thick vegetation to hide in if needed, and there are plenty of prime spots for even the most discerning basker.

If you can slip up without too much fuss, and give them some room, these Cooters will usually hold their ground, or limb, in this case.

For a big bright white bird, it sure does blend in well in the grass while it prowls the bank.

Slippery Pete is a carefree sort, and he probably just confused "Turn Around Tuesday" with Wacky Wednesday.

Anyway, It can't hurt to have at least one Cooter watching their six.

Passing this Limpkin along the Ich, you'll soon know why they call it the "crying bird".

While the fog is still clearing, it's a great opportunity to slip in and slip downriver before the rest of the paddling crowd.

It's a straight shot with no delays from the canoe launch all the way to all the big ticket attractions along the run.

If this was your basking log, you'd be dry already.

The best spots fill up quickly, so make sure you get there early, or reserve your log online.

Paddling the Ich in the early morning is about as natural as it gets.

Apparently, this Great Egret likes to hang out on a limb first thing in the morning for awhile and see what the day might bring.
