Barry & Roz's Family Cabin Weekend on July 20-22nd/07

We all had a great time at the cabin. My family was very impressed with all there was to see and do. Thank-you (to all the brothers ) for allowing me to share your play place with my family.

My sister cannot sit on the barge and hold onto a canoe and a drink at the same time. A very funny mishap, but she did save the drink and the kids in the canoe.

Suggest you take bug spray on your next trip!!!

Toe Biters - Giant Water Bug !

Here's a pic of the bug that was living under the raft and attacked Barry .
Barry, you were right! They can fly!

Belostomatidae is a family of insects in the Order Hemiptera, colloquially known as giant water bugs or toe-biters. These insects fly to lights in large numbers, earning their other common name, "electric light bugs".
They are typically encountered in freshwater streams and ponds. Individuals prey on aquatic insects, small fish, frogs, tadpoles, small birds, and other organisms they are able to capture. Powerful enzymes are injected into prey to kill them.
They are capable of inflicting a painful bite with their strong beak, and may also pinch with their front legs.

Found another cobra at the cabin July 15 2007.
His real name ? An Eastern Hognose. In defence it will hiss and hood like a cobra but if that does not work it will roll over and play dead. 

My entry for the photo contest.  

We also saw ball lightning and a humming bird /bee ?? photo to follow.
