So now that I have an easy way to compress video clips, I have a boatload (pun intended in some cases) of them to show. Some day I would like to craft a collection of them as it would be a sheer delight to watch them from when he was just itty bitty until the present. They are fun for me to listen to because unlike pictures, they also capture the soundbites which are a treasure in and of themselves.
This clip is from our recent camping trip "up north", our second one of the summer. We went a bit further north on Leech Lake than we did in June. It was cool for August but the sun warmed things up during the day. The flies were worse than the mosquitoes but we managed to find some respite when we were cruising.
Our campground sat back off a channel that emptied into Leech Lake near Portage Bay. For Dave and I boating through the channel in the early morning and at sunset was absolutely our most favorite part of the whole trip. The channel waters were calm, the reeds swaying, the sky and clouds postcard perfection and though there were other boaters, it felt as if we were the only ones for miles. You had to zig-zag as you navigated the water which made it fun and then sploosh, it kicked you out into the 3rd largest lake in Minnesota.
You can barely hear my commentary due to the wind created as we zipped along but you can hopefully feel the essence of where we were and how special it was.
