Burleigh Bay III
What better way to spend a hot summer day than going out on the lake? So we loaded up the canoe and took a short drive to Burleigh Falls and launched the canoe well below the Falls at the far end of the parking lot.
Burleigh Bay IV
As usual we paddled up the lake with me taking a few pictures along the way when something interesting caught my eye and stopped to have lunch at a place where I could do a couple of sketches while we relaxed.
Burleigh Bay V
On the way back Ron fished while I did a number of sketches and took many more photographs.
Burleigh Bay VI
I must say there is nothing like concentrating on a sketch only to be disturbed my having a live fish flapping around beside your head waiting to be taken off the hook.
Burleigh Bay VII
Fortunately for me Ron only did that with the three large mouth bass and not with the one nice sized muskellunge while he hauled into the canoe. All of the fish were live released back into the lake.
Burleigh Bay VIII
I will post each of these pieces at a later date once they have been transferred to paper or canvas.
