aug 2025 — my first visit to Canada …

our first and last catch of the day. we were in a canoe and I was on rowing duty. I couldn't rest for a minute because the pond was small and it was windy; a moment's rest meant we were blown all the way across the pond, into the reeds. this was a private pond on a neighbour's beautiful property - we shared the whole area with nobody but a pair of swans.
