Another memory from 1987...
This is looking northwest from our campsite on the "small" island in the eastern sections of Bass Lake of Restoule Provincial Park in July 1987. I watched a large largemouth bass in the lily pads. The bass vanished when I flicked in a lure. There was a nearby gull that had a pair of youngsters that squawked incessantly for food.
By the way, this tree was a favourite of my canoeing buddy. The large pine had been dead for a long time and was possibly the victim of a long ago lightning strike. There were some other dead stumps along the shore line but none quite as large.
A convective wind had come up and blown my canoe off the granite point vantage point of this painting. I dove in but the wind kept the floating canoe just inches out of reach. I chased that canoe across the lake to the northeastern shore of Bass Lake. It was a nice swim. Thankfully this was not one of the larger lakes on our trip.
