Early morning in August on Perron's Pond.  Hasn't been a lot of sunshine or clear blue skies around this summer but this was one of those rare clear sky mornings. Picture was taken on the pond not far from the portage crossing to Coopers Lake.

Cooper's Lake bulrushes 

Coopers Lake is the last remaining long channel of the historic waterway. At the north end of the lake, held in place by a beaver dam at the south end,  the water is shallow enough to let the bulrushes to grow.
