A few nice shots. The first one, is the classic Cessna 185, a workhorse of the north. This particular plane, c-gdw, belongs to Robbie Walton. Check out his top of the line fly-in lodge, www.kayveelodge.com, for a fantastic fishing experience.
The second photo, which I may have posted already, features a plane from Horne Air, picking up passengers on their way to Kay Vee Lodge. Check out www.oliviersflyin.com for great outpost packages. I love the mist in this photo, it really captures what bush flying is in the early days of summer.
The last set of photos are a Beaver belonging to Forde Lake Air Services (www.fordelakeair.com) My daughter and I decided to fish one early morning, which also happened to be a "turn around day" for local lodges. Where we settled ourselves also happened to be very close to where the planes returned from their various outposts and lodges. In the early moments of the flight returning, it appeared as if they were going to land right on us, but Russ (Victoria Air Maintenance) and Crystal are accomplished pilots and there was nothing to worry about.

Getting late. Have to add a few of these. If you are a lady and looking at this blog, prepare to say something along the lines of: "awwww, so cute"
Gentlemen, wait for further photos, so you can say "this is what cute turns into". Many levels of thought on that one. Here are a few shots that capture wild youth in some of its finest moments.
Boy, I feel sorry for you southerners. Running up and and down the 400, 401, traffic galore, etc, etc, etc. Gotta love it in the North! Open highways, no stop lights, little traffic, fewer OPP on the road.
Oh yeah, sometimes, in the spring when the sun is up at 5:30 and does not go down until 10 PM, if you are travelling, you can make good time......Even speed up a bit. However, imagine running your fine-tuned machine (whatever it may be) around a curve at a speed that would get an impounding in the south, and lo-behold Bullwinkle decides to make like a chicken, and cross the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ road in front of you....... A few shots to show what we call fun in Northern Ontario.

Ever play Peek-A-Boo with a bear? I did. Notice the slim piece of grass in his (her?) mouth. Thankfully, that was all that ended up in that bruin's mouth.....

Ted, you have put a bug in my ear, and I have decided to post a few more shots! No great commentary on any of them, but just some shots I like!
This shot was taken in March of 08, as our cruise ship entered the harbour in Puerto Rico. It was absolutely stunning and the photo only shows a bit of it.
