An Evening Canoe Outing

Matthew and I went on an after dinner canoe ride up the river Monday evening. While I paddled quietly, Matthew fished. As Matt is getting older, each year I see his patience grow and we can now spend a few hours quietly focused on being in nature.

Accompanied by two beavers for much of the paddle at one point the beavers were on shore grooming eachother - A sight I've never seen before.

Matthew caught a few small Rock Bass before landing a Brook Trout which gave him a nice fight! The dusk light created a wonderful backdrop for our time on the river and this outing really made me connect with the reason we have the cottage and the experiences we are creating for our family and friends.
