Groomer,

That moose ,,,on your pic number six above does not look like a "Happy Camper",, according to the ears. Long camera lense?? or pretty close to him?? Great pics as always.. fuzzy

i keep my big lens as long as possible...light decide...on those 2 pics...i was at the bottom of a hill..not much light there....

first pic...she was about at 20 '....the second ,i went off my 4w...and walked a bit ...she climbed the bank on the left side......so ,i was at 15' max !!

Here is a picture I took 6 miles behind Mont Saint Pierre last weekend. This was from the road leading from MSP to Mont Jacques Cartier or the Gaspesie National Park.

Hello All, I'm in the Matapedia region for a few days and since Groomer is at camp, I will try to provide an interim report. Since the locals aren't familiar with a scorpionbowl, they simply call me Rejean-Guy.

The weather continues to be very hot, with several days into the 90's. Surprisingly, there is still snow on Mt. Albert.

Lupines are in full bloom, about a month later than home.

Farmers seem to be raising wind mills now, but must still need hay.

Before I left, Groomer was kind enough to give me directions to his fish jumping spot. I could have stayed there all day. Fish were jumping at maybe 1 in every 2 minutes. You have to be quick with the camera that's for sure. A few of them made it up, and some just went head-on into the rocks.

So far, I've seen 1 Moose, 1 Deer, 2 Rabitts, and 4 SAQ's. Tomorrow, I head home and await the real update from Groomer...

while waiting for my potatoes to cook for supper and talking with my bottle...hahhaha !! i cancelled my moose run and went near lake causapscal to take pics of lupines....then went to the falls...took a chance to go...

was there at 7 34 pm.....checked in the parking...then went to marsh ...7 39 pm...2 cars only...then stopped at the bridge to take pics of little falls and have a refreshment !!! stayed there for 20 mins...then back up toward lake causapscal ....lake 8 miles..road for 16 miles and 3 moose hill and back to camp around 9 15 pm

very happy scorpionbowl that you ve seen salmon jump the falls...ya...must be fast to take pics...but after a while you get use to that ...

Gutz, I drove home today. I was in Perce on Thursday. I should have stayed longer, the weather at home sucks.

Groomer, are those the st Alexander falls? I didn't make it there. You also didn't mention the girl at the gate to see the salmon was a better keeper than the fish! You certainly don't want to bring the bottle when taking pics of the fish.

My camp in VT doesn't have electricity either, so I know this isn't good weather for that, so that's why I made a last minute trip to the Gaspe. I considered going to baie James, good thing I didn't.
