~ Photography by Pat Beaudoin, Sioux Lookout Photographer
Well, normally that is true but we received snow instead for both months and no spring flowers as a result. However, I did get these beautiful Tulips for Mother’s Day and spent two enjoyable afternoons photographing them, indoors and outdoors. Tulips are becoming a favourite of mine to photo, I love their delicate, trim lines. 
New territory for me and I found it quite interesting, especially with a little ice still on the lake. These images were taken in early May and both boat launch areas are represented. I really liked the stark look of the scenery and planned a return visit for more photos after the snow was gone. When I did return later in the month, the water had risen to cover all of the beach area and that was that for the time being!
While we were there we came across a plate of food, left in a quiet sheltered spot overlooking the lake. It is apparently Native Canadian tradition to provide food for the deceased, to nourish them on their journey after death; perhaps this was such an offering. It was touching to find and had me wondering about the circumstances surrounding someone’s loss.
On a happier note, my site is officially launched! I’ll continue with improvements over time and post at least weekly initially. Enjoy…
