taking a break in the island

Mother nature welcomed us providing all kinds of weather today. We started our journey under the blue sky with white clouds and lovely sunshine, and even with nice breeze. In about a couple of hours we started feeling more wind and moisture with some black clouds above followed by some shower in the end. After for a while all the surroundings turned into grey with heavy rain and strong wind showing no sign of any silver lining. But finally it ended up with blue sky and beautiful sunshine again..

It looked like that she was a boss in her family. She brought five other family members of her parents, two sons, and her husband all the way from Germany. Not like typical German, she was quite out going, lots of laughters, and good at joking. Maybe she had a profession as a teacher in Germany.

Beavers did a good job in building dams. Actually here in Canada we have too many beavers so we even have Justin Bieber. :-)

As black clouds were gathering fast we reached the other side of the lake where we might have a chance to encounter some wildlife like moose, deers, or foxes though we were not lucky enough to see anything but a loon haching some eggs.

I saw the whiser of wind through the wavy long bushes along the lakeshore. And the reflection on the lake gave sky lot more blue.

Temperature dropped quickly and wind was picking up as we were having more clouds around the sun.

What else do I need more in here?

Nothing.. nothing but trying hard to listening to the sound of mother nature.  The hissing sound of bush touched by wind, splashing sound of water to my canoe, and mabye some untold history on the beauty of this lake, and so on.. I kept hearing while I was paddling.

Peter says that life is tooo short to wait something or someone too long.. :-)
