Not as active as we hoped it would be, for some reason (age?) we both felt a bit feeble. But we did get some paddling done, mostly on Raccoon Lake where we camped. Not our first choice, or probably even our twentyfirst, but it's all we could get now that reservation bots seem to be taking over.

First good chance to try my new camera set-up; a Cannon EOS M50 MkII. The standard lens is a 15-45mm zoom, and I picked up a Sigma18-300mm zoom, made for a full fram Canon, and an adapter to fit it. Quite happy with it, and can't wait to get out and about again.

This was really cool. On the northwest area of Raccoon Lake is this rock, with totally natural markings that look like a landscape painting of a reflection scene.

So, what do you get when you take the previous picture, with the camera to set to take an in-camera HDR, and a C-130 comes over low and fast? This.

Thanks for the pics, Dave. I'm holding out for more normalcy, myself.

Is there a port form Coon to Whitefish?

Wondered that myself, but I don't think so. Might be an idea to put before the park staff, ot The Friends of Algonquin. Shouldn't take long to bushwhack a trail.

wow, very nice shots Dave. I have an M50 as well, being new to photography, now I know a good aftermarket lens to get too. Thanks!
