This shot was inspired by a stroll on the ice of Pelican Pouch Lake on a beautiful afternoon in March. Always on the lookout for good photo opportunities, I noticed a pretty little island flirting with the main shoreline and made a mental note to return after leaf-out in the spring. Early in June, I took a number of shots of the tiny island just as the sun was coming up. This one, which included my canoe, was a personal favourite.
