Back Country Canoe Trips – First Installment !
I was going through old photos the other day, from when we used to do a lot of back country canoe trips, or interior trips.

Photo Display, Old Church, Avro Arrow and More
So this past weekend was pretty good, hectic though ! We had photos in one of our photography clubs photo display this weekend at the Quinte Mall. Photo-Nat photography club to be precise. Every year our members display their photos in the hopes of increasing our membership and to display our work. We also volunteer to man OR woman the display booth lol. The photos were all fantastic, a lot of talent in this group of people.

Our guest speaker will be Mark Raycroft who is an awesome speaker. He has written books on wildlife, more specifically moose and deer and also has a Podcast called Wild and Exposed.
