So far anyway. Just got back from Red Lake Ontario where the inlaws live. Did a little off shore fishing and snapped few pics. Enjoy.

Now for the cool stuff (For me at least)

While we were fishing boats would blast by and create some pretty big waves. One of these waves washed up a bug and what happened to the bug was pretty cool. I didn't take pics because I was too into fishing. The next day another one of the bugs washed up and I quit fishing to take the following pics of a Dragonfly coming into existance.

Here is a series that shows the wings gowing in length down the body.

LOL, I was wondering who was going to pick that up. I know it looks like that but here's a closeup of the hand.

if he was i think that's a totally idiotic thing to do. it's not like he's taking pics of his face.

btw, awesome pics!! great scenery and especially the dragonfly shots! wow! :thumbs2:

Thanks Ed. We were fishing for Wallye aka Pickerel. One of the best tasting fish around.
