This guy had the right idea on Gibson Lake...We also got several shots of 3 different wolves on this trip but were too far away to be used for contest.

Here is a mother loon and her chick taken on lake four last summer. It's kinda blurry since it was raining. Also since I took it point and shoot it's very small. :(

I am pretty sure LTs photo is that of the "Lac" Ness monster. Many a visitor has returned from the Lac La Croix with stories of a sighting a large humped beast. Old Nessycroix, as the Native Americans have called it, only emerges for seconds at a time, and this is indeed a rare photo of said prehistoric beast.

Just a question.... where do you guys see this monster in my picture? EDIT Is this it I went back and cropped the photo.

This pic was taken in May on a stream flowing near Brent Lake in the Q by my wife.

I believe it might be a Boreal Chorus Frog, but hard to tell from limited amount showing in the pic. Any other guesses?

Crooked Lake Swimming Bear

Saw this guy on crooked lake -- the photo's zoomed in quite a bit.. I was torn between keeping my distance and paddling closer for a better shot! What's more, the bear was swimming from an island where we'd camped the previous year...

LT went to the Bannock School of Photography. I used to be a door-to-door camera salesman selling cameras in small Iowa communities so their schools could start photography clubs. :-)

Oh you got trouble my friends
Right here in River City
and that starts with "T"
and rhymes with "C"
which stands for camera!

:-) :-) :-)

Twenty minutes after putting in at Moose River #16 we coasted by this whitetail. It was obviously terrified that we were so close--it almost stopped chewing its breakfast as we went by.

I am not an expert, but I think that is a mink or an ermin. Not an otter.

LIS North, last week. After this photo the moose continued to wade out into the river. When he got about 20 feet away I figured it was time to start back padddling.
