Hi,

Just gt back from a day hike in beautiful Whiteshell Provincial Park in Manitoba. Went to Bear Lake... named for its shape, though we did see some fairly fresh bear scat, and dug up stump/roots. Hope you enjoy the pics! :)

Here are some of the wildflowers we saw:

Interesting fungus:

The trail, much of which was on the granite of the Canadian Shield:

And, of course, my blades for the day. The top one is a new Daniel Winkler purchase. I like the bowie-shape blade, about 4.5 inches. The smaller blade is an Ed Caffrey EBK-I; I've taken to carrying a small fixed blade in my pocket rather than a folder.

Nice pics. I really like that Winkler bowie - classic handle shape. The lake reminds me of Muskoka, here in Ontario.

Thanks for sharing,

- Mike

Those flowers look incredible in those pics! Awesome! Oh, and sweet blades too. :thumbup:

That's for sure. The bugs were nasty. My wife and I each had ticks crawling on us. None of them managed to latch on, however!
