October 10 - Thanksgiving Monday

And another beautiful start to the day!

Some raindrops left over from the night's showers

Love all the white bark on the trees along the river.

And Conrad gets the award for the biggest pickerel of the weekend.

Perfectly gorgeous sunrise on Bird River this morning!

When we took off fishing for the day, the winds were so calm
we could get mirror like images ...

Grace & I thought we had this perfectly set up ...
threw out a small dead fish close to a couple of bald eagles,
and before we were ready, they'd swooped down to get it and
were gone!

       Conrad & I took a drive out to the Pembina Valley Provincial Park tonight ..
       a little too late in the season and in the day,
but still a  beautiful place to spend a few hours.
