This is another piece in my current WOOD + PHOTO III show at Dark Horse Espresso Bar in Toronto.
A typical day at Kearney Lake includes several swims, some paddling, the occasional evening fishing trip, lots of book-reading, consistent meal preparing, and deep forest exploring.
The photograph in this piece was shot from a bush plane. Here is a hand-drawn map of the familiar parts of the lake:

Where the Bonnechere starts
It was a weekend well spent, at the mouth of the Bonnechere River.
In the middle of Ontario somewhere between Barry's Bay and Pembroke, a group of friends got together to share core-warming meals and wood panelled quarters.
A beautiful hand built cedar strip canoe hosted live book readings and chartered quiet lake tours, while a single shotgun and a box of clay pigeons provided loud cracks and complimentary cheers.
Many a fishing line was cast, but not a fish came in from the lake.
Here are a few photos:
Portrait by the lake
This family likes to smile - and it is contagious! This is the second (and hopefully not the last) portrait that I've taken of them.
Thank you, Jonah, Genevieve, Bella and baby Jacob for a happy evening by the lake.
Here are some of my favourites:
