2013 Week 30 Photos

2013 Week 30 Photos 

By Corey Lablans Photography 

This week started off with a theme and then went array. I was thinking of photographing insects everyday but got busy with the various activities that went on in the week such as tours, the opening of the museum and the local mineral show. Anyways, here are the photos from this past week, week number eight.

2013 07 22 – The larvae of a water beetle eats a small snail on Marble Lake. There are over 2000 species of water beetles.

2013 07 23 – Two damselflies copulate in the evening on Marble Lake. If you want to learn more about how, click this scientific link: http://goo.gl/6uTLfO

2013 07 24 – Beautiful cirrus clouds are seen reflecting in a pond off Cross-Country Road near Musclow-Greenview Road east of Bancroft.

2013 07 25 – A group walks down a slope at the MacDonald Mine north of Bancroft. The mine, which opened in 1919, was one of the largest Feldspar mines in Canada. It has since been rehabilitated, covering up the large openings with debris material. A concrete tunnel does lead into the openings for bats and is barred off.

2013 07 26 – As the fire dies down the embers glow red while enjoying a campfire with Doug and Donna at the Bancroft Tent and Trailer Camp. Embers are around 500 degrees Celsius.

2013 07 27 – Someone takes a photos of various members associated with the opening of the new mineral museum in Bancroft. The museum officially opened on Sunday, July 28^th, the day of the local club’s mineral show.

2013 07 28 – A couple examine some of the minerals available to purchase at the Bancroft Gem and Mineral Club’s 17^th annual show at the Legion. The show features three silent auctions and a live auction at the end of the day.
