Adventures of Shannon, Cathy and Cheryl




Decided to go kayaking on the Ottawa River.  Shannon had a short try at it yesterday before we decided to cross the river over to Fitzroy Harbour.







Here's Shannon taking pics of geese on one of the islands.

How do we get out of here?




Cathy took a few pics of Shannon and I above.












I didn't realize there were so many different dragon flies.  I captured four here.








At the power lines we heard screeching.  Looking up, we saw a osprey.  I captured him here just landing on the huge nest.

If you look close, you can see him looking over the nest glaring at us.


On our way home, just made it in time before the storm.  We were at the BlackJack wharf when we first started hearing thunder.  OK Shannon, now you learn to go fast, before the storm breaks.  We only saw one flash of lighting.  Just reached the shore and a few raindrops starting falling.
