LAC SEUL
Lac Seul (translated from French as “Lake Alone”) is a large inland lake situated on the Canadian Shield within an area known as northwestern Ontario. Lac Seul has a shoreline distance of 4800 kilometers (3000 miles) which is equal to the distance from Toronto, ON to Victoria, B.C.). Filled with twists and turns, this shoreline consists of several inlets, bays and connecting narrows that create many nooks and crannies. This natural layout provides numerous opportunities to explore and discover the special places that exist throughout Lac Seul.

I was looking around the shoreline of an island the houseboat was parked at when I spotted this.
The painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) is one of the two turtle species known to reside within Lac Seul.
It was whitish-tan in colour with many “spikey” branches and looked very similar to dried out chunks of coral.
I stopped to take a closer look and noticed that it appeared to move which seemed a bit odd.
Spending time exploring the shoreline of Lac Seul frequently provides the opportunity to get up close and personal with a variety of creatures that inhabit the lake.

I discovered that the word “seagulls” did not actually apply to a specific bird species but instead was a slang term used to describe gulls in general.
I decided that I would attempt to identify 50 different bird species within a 50 kilometer radius of Lac Seul over the 2013 calendar year (coinciding with the year that I turned 50).
Suddenly, all around me numerous strange looking bugs were emerging from the water and crawling up onto the rocks.
