I'll start. I took this one evening while camping on Saganagons in August last year. I have this on my computer as my wallpaper.

2009 Isabella River. The best of my trips so far. This was the most miserable wet night of any I've spent in the BW. With the tarp and this roaring fire it was downright bearable! Gotta look different now after a wildfire.

May waters rise to meet you. May wind and current be always at your back. May the Good Lord paddle with you, And may yours be the lightest pack.
