Well, I don't have to work tomorrow, which means I don't have to work tonight. So I thought I'd just play around a little with whatever I could find online. My boys are canoeing in the backcountry of Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park with my dad and his wife. I haven't been there in a couple of years, so I thought I'd just imagine the trip they are taking. Algonquin is a north woods park, a couple or more hours north of Toronto: 
The main birds there are loons: 
We've seen osprey there, too: 
And one night I heard the wolves of Algonquin:
Mostly, though, we canoe:
Portage:
Camp:
And hang out with loons:
(This loon is carrying a chick on her back. How cool is that?)

Beautiful pics but I esp. like the loon carrying her baby. I wonder how long they do that. Orangutangs carry their babies with them everywhere for up to 3 years.
By the time ice forms on the lakes, those babies are grown up, in the air and headed south.
Oh, that looks so nice. I wish I were there right now!
The call of a loon takes me right back to misty mornings on the Northwoods lakes during our camping vacations when I was a kid. Wild, chilling, mournful, and a little comical all at the same time...
Every three years of so we take a vacation to Killarney, in Ontario. We have some Ojibwa friends there. It is absolutely stunning, and so clean and clear...
