I love summer, especially when it means getting together with a couple dozens people you have met once or twice and throwing a party in the middle of nowhere (more specifically, Lac St-Paul, located just a little over 3 hours north of Montreal). It is my honor to present you my two newest friends, Chad and Nitro who gracefully obliged me to a couple of shots.
I couldn’t decide whether I liked the colour or b&w version more so you get both. You also get a bonus (but mandatory) sunset over the lake shot.
You would think I would have went people portrait crazy (I am pretty sure at any time during the evening there were over 30 people present) but I was actually drawn more to the furry animals. Sometimes you just have to mix it up a little bit to get your mojo going.
Only downside is that I now have doggy fever.

During the first weekend of July, the boyfriend and I went to his hometown of Coaticook (more specifically we went to the Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook) for a little bit of camping fun. I, of course, took a couple photographs which I intended to post here but then life got in the way and I totally forgot about them until today.
Over the years, the erosion from the Coaticook River has sculpted this amazing 50-meter-deep natural gorge. To cross the river over the gorge, you can take the Guinness Record’s longest hanging bridge in the world (169 metres/555 feet) - c/o Eastern Townships Travel Guide
We had reserved a site in the N area which holds 28 traditional camping lots in a very wooded area where literally thousands of ferns cover the less traveled grounds. At dawn and dusk, the light was simply magical. Because our campsite was situated near the river, there were hundreds of tiny bright blue dragonflies flying about on the river’s shores. I couldn’t help but think of my cousin whose favorite colour was blue and like dragonflies so much had gotten one tattooed on her shoulder. On Sunday, before heading back home, we hiked the trails and walked on the suspended bridge over the gorge. Being that it is the world’s longest suspended pedestrian bridge, you can imagine it was quite the sight.
