Kaitlin came home from school in Halifax, to drum and paddle for the team.

Sept. 16: Montreal

 

I tried to capture the excitement and fury of the turns for the 2000 m race.

There are 7 turns on the course, and the boats get ever closer, vying for right-of-way coming into and out of the turn!

These are some of my wonderful paddling friends!

Amanda, Mary, Bei, Peggy, Nancy, Helen, Jackie.



Sept. 13: Montreal

 

This is the first of the photos taken with my new camera,

a Canon, PowerShot S100.

It is the size of a deck of cards, but has all the manual controls!

This photo was taken in the Montreal Olympic Padling Basin.

I like the morning sun slanted through the paddles.

Sept. 12: Killarney

If you are ever wondering what a bunch of night-time swimmers wearing headlamps would look like, this is it!

Sept. 10: Killarney

 

 

At the entrance to the campground, this sign is a reminder of the reality!

However, we did not see one bear.

This was Dianne's first ever trip to Killarney without a bear sighting!
