Scarab heading under the bridge

 

Adventure in Sails

 

Uh-oh

 

 

Drifting towards shore; neither of these rescue units were able to right the wrong

 

Drifting out again; enter new troops

 

 

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily...

 

Life is but a dream!

Upright & colourful

 

Butterfly on the deck before dawn

 

 

Grandma's great adventure

 

 

Unusual-looking loon

 

Colour changes as dusk sets in

 

Another uh-oh

This is what happens when your canoe capsizes

 

Another rescue unit mobilized

 

 

 

 

 

Taking no chances; hauling their junk, towing them back to the safety of Mom & Dad

This appears to be the same youth that capsized his sailboat a few days earlier (see above)

 

Cruising the Rideau

Our days are numbered for taking the boat out this season; today we went out after the rain for a short jaunt. Our highlight was spotting an osprey landing on a natural nest (as opposed to a man-made nesting box) coming out of Lost Lake. Not too shabby either were the loon shots I was able to get with the zoom lens. The children on the lake made for some cute shots as well.
