Man, this trip is taking longer than I thought. I bet we’re having an amazing time, right? Anyway, here’s that picture of a mink who had just caught a crayfish off the shore of the northern island back in July.

While I’m away, Day 3

Here’s the best shot I managed to get of the spiny softshell turtles sunning on the far shore. I still can’t believe that they’ve probably been there all along, but I just never noticed them until this summer.
