Eglath, those are classic shots, and yes, definitely what we all feel like after several days up there.

This one is at Amoeber; so nice when the natural shape of the rock resembles an easy chair.

Thanks for the compliment! I have to agree with you Kiporby's photo is the one to beat. That shot reminds me of a pose you'd see from an old man after a long hard day paddling and portaging. Isn't it priceless when kids seemingly imitate adults?

Cowboy---i see your point..i guess there is a fine line between relax and pass out--

it's just a level trail thru the woods.

It was a tough month to judge as there were many relaxing photos to view.

The winner of the February photo contest is Woodpecker!

The trip report contest goes to Ho Ho for his picturesque Quetico tail.

The extra hat goes to lmunch85.

Thank you everyone for showing us a little relaxing moment in the BWCA.
