Is it summer yet??

I miss the summer time, miss being able to stand on the deck without a winter coat, miss camping the most

I prefer to camp were there is no one else, or at least no one close by. We have our favorite spot, right on a lake, and although the area seems to get busier each year we normally get lucky and find at least one of our spots open. I have taken more photos in this area than I can count, I cant wait to get back.

I took this image one night around the quiet campfire, time exposed to show the fire, background light provided by the lantren, and what better than a Canadian camp chair to sit on

One of our trips I had the fishing buddies sit around the fire for a time exposure, had some wood on the fire that was providing some excellent sparks, I knew I had to grab my camera and catch the moment. Again I used the lantren to provide some back light in this shot

Early morning the fog rises off the lake as the day warms makes for some great photo opportunity, I used the trees to frame the upper part of the shot to draw eyes to the main scene in the image. I can almost here the loon and smell the trees when I look at this image

Until summer I will wait to hear the frogs at night - our yearly sign that spring and warmer weather is here
