They were there in time\r\n{6:40 am} to capture the sweet light of the morning dawn and eventual\r\nsunrise at 7:11am. By 8:00 am the majority of the 34 members who\r\nparticipated in this annual event, which is open to all Photo Club members,\r\nhad arrived and they dispersed on the three trails which were on the program\r\nof the day. One trail (#50) wandered along the shore of Lac Philippe for 5\r\nkm and eventually to the Lusk Caves. This trail demanded stamina and\r\nperseverance and some hardy souls made it their objective. Trail number 54\r\nwas a more gentle 3.5 km hike to Lusk Lake through some mixed forest\r\nenvironment and crisscrossed by a wayward brook. Most of the participants\r\ngathered for lunch at Parent Beach for a well deserved break at mid day and\r\nsome good natured exchanges and conversation on things photographic.  The\r\ndogged stalwarts continued to explore this enchanting environment for the\r\nafternoon.\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_917\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-917\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-917\" href=\"http:\/\/www.raphotoclub.ca\/wp\/?attachment_id=917\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-917 \" title=\"Photo by Mireille Masse\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.raphotoclub.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/MireilleMasse-Debbie.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" alt=\"Photo by Mireille Masse\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.raphotoclub.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/MireilleMasse-Debbie.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.raphotoclub.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/MireilleMasse-Debbie.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-917\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Mireille Masse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nAll participants are invited to enter in the Fall Challenge Competition by\r\nsubmitting 8 of their best images to the organizers of the competition (see\r\nthe following link for instructions on submissions at;\r\n<a href=\"..\/..\/smf\/index.php?topic=2098.0\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.raphotoclub.ca\/smf\/index.php?topic=2098.0<\/a>) This competition is\r\njudged by any member of the RA Photo Club who wishes to exercise their\r\nevaluation skills on November 3.
