The moose came from the narrows. I lost sight of her thru the view finder as she neared the rocky shore.
The beavers must be working, the water level is up a few inches.
The blueberries seem to be liking all of this rain.

Not a lot has been going on the past week or so. Rain, cool temps, rain, no solar, rain and bugs. Did I mention that it's been raining a lot? And not too many pics on the cameras.
Father's day dinner. NO! Not KFC! Bacon wrapped scallops, shrimp, and lobster claws done on the barbie.
We went for a ride around the lake the other day and found this moose leg right in the middle of our road. There were no other moose parts around.
I managed to get this shot of one of the black-backed woodpecker babies.
When we do get some sun, it always seem to be after dinner.
Yesterday while we were going thru the narrows, already in the channel, a boat full of bass fishing terrorists came right in the narrows. I had to move over and dinged my prop really badly. GRRRRR
Here is a short video of a bunny under the bird feeder being bugged by bugs. Click.

We have a correction to the last post. The woodpecker is actually a black-backed woodpecker. It is a rather uncommon bird. Our expert, Dr. J., has never seen one! It has three toes, just like the three toed woodpecker. Here are a couple of links for you.

Speaking about birds, check out this video of a swimming owl.

In other news, there were 4 terrorists, I mean tourists on our lake yesterday. They left us a present.
Tourists, like terrorists, should be sent back to where they came from until they can live in harmony with others.

Here is what has been goin' on around these parts.
Back on the 8th Dan and Judy got a floating dock installed. Of course, I had to supervise.
Here they come with the dock and ramp.
Removing the old dock. That's a real nice boat.
Drilling into bedrock to install the shore anchor.
The crossed cables hold the ramp tight to the dock.
The decking is in pallet form.
Yup. A real nice boat. Lifting an anchor.
5/16th anchor chains.
In goes an anchor.
Swim ladder installed.
Tout fini.
Guess who's the first Lil' Tomikoan to park?
Kat and Cat were going to town and had to stop on the Notman road so this guy could get off the road.
Back on the 12th we went on a road trip with the AKA Smiths.
The first stop was the North Cobalt Flea Market, which is more like a discount store.
Some of the haul.
Then on to the TSC in New Liskeard.
This Vet clinic was across the street. Check out the Vet's name.
The next stop was in, one of my favourite towns, Temagmi.
Guess who we found there? Bill from Docks Plus. We had time to get all of the pluses and minuses of different styles of docks.
They do all kinds of docks, even lift docks.
Ya gotta tell 'em where yer to.
We were all confused as to why Dan and Judy's driveway alarm was going off when there was nothing around. We found out that there was a hairy woodpecker nest close by and when the peckers flew by the alarm would go off. Here are a couple of shaky videos. We have seen the babies, but they did not show for the videos, but you can here them, especially in the second one.

I haven't been doing my morning walk-abouts for a while. So, you will notice that all pics are less than 25 feet away from the cabin.
My little buddy must have missed me on my morning walks so he came to visit me.
Peek a boo hummer.
I'm just a prisoner in my own castle.
We have had a bunch of bunnies lately. this little fella is a frequent visitor.
Another bunny running away. Check out the big white feet.
Does a bear crap in the woods?
Nope, he craps in our yard. That's just a little too close to the back door.
The lake level is holding and is even rising a bit.
It's a green jungle out there. Just a few weeks ago it was all nice and white and clean.
Oh well, it'll only be about 16 weeks 'till the first snow fall.
A short video of our prison guards.
