On the final morning of a field trip in Prince Albert National Park the rainy, overcast weather began to move off. I took the time to travel up a back road that has several turnouts to picnic spots and boat launches. I can't recall the name of the lake in this image.

A view from the beach at an inlet of Waskesiu Lake, in Prince Albert National Park. The overcast skies were beginning to break up, and there was barely a breath of wind.

A Parks Canada boat ready for some fishing or exploring time. Considering how much rain had fallen in the preceding hours, I was surprised the boat was not filled with water.

I took this image as an exercise in composition. The still water and the flat light made for some interesting reflections. I also thought about how quickly plants in the water had adapted to the presence of the dock, which had likely only been installed a few weeks before, after the ice left.

Canada is blessed with many thousands of lakes and an abundance of boreal forests that attract visitors, especially in the summer. The water, the dock installed for the summer and the forest in the background all suggested to me that this is a typical Canadian image. This was taken in Prince Albert National Park, while the rain stopped, for a while.
