Reasons to be cheerful.

Home again.

Dog tired, slightly sunburned, nicely refreshed after our mini-vacation up on Baptiste Lake. Four blissful days - great food, fine wine, terrific company, and the simple summer pleasures to be had in cottage country with the kids - canoeing, swimming, soccer, fishing, more swimming...

Crashing now - got to catch up on Zzzzz's for a new biz pitch first thing in the morning, but had to pop in to post this one shot.

First thing this morning, watching the mist burning off the lake as the sun baked through. An early morning visitor dropped in on the floating dock. I grabbed the camera and just had time to shoot this one pic before he sailed off across the lake.



Wow.
