Rather rough water and moderate wind but safe for us to paddle 5 km to and from the Sheek Island on the St. Lawrence River.

Taken from the shore of Sheek Island on Lake St. Lawrence. The stump resembles some primordial creature crawling out of the water on to land.

Several horizontal lines looking south from the north shore of the St. Lawrence river at Guindon Park with following elements: north shore snow, fixed and loose shore ice, open bay water, river current, fog above the river channel, Sheek island in the distance, open sky over the land to the south and low clouds in the sky created by the river.
Calm and cool 7 Celsius, relatively warm for mid December, allowed us out for an evening paddled on the weekend. It was a marvellous 1 hour paddle during a cloudy sunset, about 4 km on a calm section of the St. Lawrence River. More to come,,,
An under the canoe image near shore of Sheek Island on the St. Lawrence River. Limited aquatic plants possibly due to relatively high currents. What I find interesting about this image is the light coming through the rapid paddle water spirals, two on the upper right. The paddle just touched the sandy sediment.
Lucky we we able to view several raccoons that came out of Sheek Island at sunset when we paddled around. What was interesting was the low water level and exposed white rocks. A few other images below...
Swamp grass held back from it's march to water by a decaying stump, on the shore of Sheek Island, St. Lawrence River.
This Great Blue Heron by the sedge's (prev. shot) could not tolerate our presence in the canoe, so, off he goes!
On Sheek Island, Lake St. Lawrence. Water level is quite low, normally the base of those sedges would be underwater.

DarreIl Yetman, a cancer survivor and Coordinator for Prostate Cancer Awareness at the Canadian Cancer Society in NL, made this comment about the dandelion, "I have always said that the dandelion is my favourite flower. Very useful, eager to be one of the first and brightest in the spring, and extremely determined and adaptable under the most difficult circumstances. We could all learn so much from the humble dandelion." I love the plant, too. Its perfect deep yellow face and soft velvet petals bring great joy. Here is a link to its food and medicinal qualities: www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/dandelion-000236.htm#ixzz1sai...

Canoeing 5 kilometres on the St. Lawrence River to Sheek Island.
Below, a closer view of the clouds…
The past few days have been hot and humid with lots of haze in the evening. These atmospheric conditions allow for some interesting views of the setting sun with muted tones and more pastel colours.
This was taken from the canoe as we were rounding an island on the St.Lawrence. I tried to frame the glowing orb of the sun as an ornament on this dead tree.
On shore at Sheek Island. Just a hint of snow and ice. The water was calm and tempting. Too bad we didn't bring our bathing suits.

About to get even lonelier when the ice forms. Due to swift currents just off shore, the ice cover is often unstable and hazardous. There's no safe way to visit Sheek Island in winter. This is a great place to canoe at any other time of year and I'm going to miss it.

The islands of the St. Lawrence river are invariably rocky. Even the river's bottom is strewn with rocks and boulders. Much of this has to do with the last ice age and the effects of glaciation some 10,000 years ago. Ancient mountain ranges in the region were ground down by glacier ice of up to a kilometer thick, dispersing rock along the St. Lawrence valley (Champlain sea). This view of an old rock fence on the shore of Sheek Island has several different rocks, mostly granite. But one grey shale rock with unusual marks stands out. This rock is deeply scored with lines running in several directions. How can this be explained? Is it a glacier erratic that was ground down in different directions as the glacier advanced and retreated? Could it's softer rock have been eroded in this way by the effects of ice on this shoreline over the past fifty years? Could this have been a cutting surface for natives that were known to inhabit this island 3,500 years ago? What about the United Empire Loyalists, who, 200 years ago, gathered these stones to make stone fences that criss cross the Island, could they have caused this? Or maybe there was some supernatural force that made the pentagon, after all, Sheek Island is a ghost Island!
A oak tree that survived being struck by lightning having radically altered its trunk half of it open with limbs angled up to the sky. A view from the canoe as we approached it along shore this evening, plus an image taken 7 years ago during a Spring paddle to this island, it has survived...
Bergin, or Bird Island, one of our favorite paddle destinations on the St. Lawrence river is now off limits this winter. It's about a 2 kilometer paddle across open water with a section of fast current. During winter freeze-up the surrounding ice can be unstable due to the continuous flow of water downstream through the Cornwall hydroelectric dam. This was taken during a frigid winter snow storm. The surrounding islands barely visible, to the left, Sheek, and to the right, Island 17.
Low water on the St Lawrence has exposed these rocks where we found this Great Blue Heron on Sheek Island.

...from my recent posting of a set of grim images of a visit to Oradour-sur-Glen, France, 2 yrs ago.
I limited comments to just 3 images. I thank all those who faved and sent me emails about their feelings of the atrocity.

Some snowy remnants hiding under a fallen tree on the shore of Sheek Island, St. Lawrence River. Winter will be coming out of hiding today as we brace for 15 cm of snow and freezing rain.

The pepper is black willow and it's horizontal branches. The salt is represented by the numerous insects (flies, midges, and mosquitoes) dancing on the water.

Spotted while paddling along Sheek Island. The four of them came to shore for supper. I think they were looking for crayfish. Looking healthy and well fed, these raccoons do well on this uninhabited island.
The downed tree points to the historic location of the (former) mighty Long Sault Rapids, under 80 feet of water, thanks to the flooding of the seaway some fifty years ago. Off in the distance, a fog bank covers Sheek and Barnhart Islands on the St. Lawrence River.

Paddling along the shore of Sheek Island on the St. Lawrence River. These protected bays (shielded by other islands) are often the first to freeze and the last to have ice in the spring. The setting sun brings out the red of the dogwood shrubs.
This small patch of blue sky seemed to follow us during our paddle along an otherwise bleak shore.

A vivid image of this small St. Lawrence island, Sheek, we paddled by on the first wonderful day of this Spring. This was taken with the setting sun behind us so it lit up the shore intensifying the red dogwood bushes. No green as the leaves have yet to bud out. What was amazing is the white streak on the shore rocks produced by some sort of condensation of the water that dropped rapidly. I have never seen this and have no idea what it is caused by. A previous image of this island posted below of the same shore roughly the same time 4 years ago. The lighting was much different but there was no white strip...

As the canoe glides, towards Sheek Island, the bow wake disturbs the mirror like water and its reflections on the St. Lawrence.
A little random creek I crossed near Parkes out looking for Canola. What a beautiful scene of rural Australia.
This is stitched panorama, manually blended and hit with a couple of NIK layers, warming filters and other bits and pieces.
Wish this could be sharper, but had to post it as the three of them were lined up in a row: mature bald eagle, one year old eaglet and the two year old eaglet. The latter noticed us first as we swept around this island to view this very unexpected grouping.
Presumably the parent of the two juveniles, but they did scatter in different directions after we arrived on our canoe while rounding this little island on the St. Lawrence river. From about 100 feet away while paddling in fast current. Hand held image, high iso, high shutter speed, @ 50% crop. Fortunately the sun was low on the horizon and behind my back with no shadow (thus the golden cast).
