Gatineau Park

I got up before dawn to take a 30 minute drive to Pink Lake in Gatineau Park on Saturday. When I arrived in was still pitch black out so I waited in the dark (and deserted) parking lot until there was barely enough light to set out on the trail around the lake. By the time the light was reasonably good, several other photographers had arrived and we sort of leap-frogged our way around the trail, trying to avoid shooting each other. Anyway, here is a sample:

In the very cold months, we’ll fight for spots in front of the cottage’s wood stove.
