Being at the cottage means being outdoors. So, why not share your favourite outdoor activity with us by submitting your best shot to this year's photo contest? Take the plunge! Kayaking, sailing, boogie boarding and tubing are all fun ways to get out on the water. How about an action photo of your children setting up a tent or enjoying marshmallows at a campfire? How about sitting on a beach relaxing with a book under an umbrella, daydreaming n the dock or jumping off the dock, maybe even skinny dipping or having a Canada Day party? There are so many places to find inspiration including the many trails around the lake, at South Frontenac Park where the Rideau trails runs through our area or strap on your hiking boots and visit Foley Mountain. There are so many possibilities and so many choices.
Enter today, be creative and have fun! To be eligible you must have to have a strong tie with Wolfe or Green Lakes and be 18 years or older. The winning photo will be awarded a gift certificate with a value of $50.00 kindly offered by the The Pie Bar, run by Stacy Blair in Westport.
We are looking forward to receiving your pictures. Please upload your best shots directly on www.facebook.com/wolfe-green-Lakes-Westport-Association or e-mail to com-wolfelake@outlook.com. The deadline is September 30, 2020.
This photo epitomizes kids having fun at the lake in the best way possible: physical activity in the outdoors married with a bright and magical imagination. As a youth, who hasn’t pretended they were a dolphin, a deep sea diver or pirate (or a mermaid!) — and isn’t there still a part of that kid-like pleasure recaptured when we “play” in the lake today?
The photo itself is very dramatic. It captures all the action at its peak, freezing the girl’s powerful leap from the churning water and her fanned out hair. Meanwhile the explosive splash leads the eye up, up and away. A dazzling and exceptional photo!
Congratulations, Dan!

Why we love it:
An enchanting picture, that captures the timeless fascination of very young children with water and evokes a sense of nostalgia. Most of us experienced the same delight as young children, splashing and giggling as we were introduced to a new sensory experience; and we treasure special memories of our own kids and grand kids playing in the lake. The crystal clear water, baby Bianca’s curls, the sun on her shoulders, tiny hands clasped in excitement as the water splashes....definitely pure joy!
Congratulations Melanie!
Why we love it:
Colour saturated and action packed, this unique Go Pro image was our very last entry and really caught our eye. It screams “FUN!” and relays an almost tangible sense of motion, sound and excitement. The cool, curved fish bowl perspective is repeated from top to bottom: the horizon, churning waves and even the round, red tube itself. If there was any doubt to the thrill of the ride, just look at the kids’ expressions!
Congratulations Quinn and Jennifer!
Why we love it:
This adorable little boy is getting a lesson in buoyancy with a bit of help from his bright orange floaties and his patient Mama. The composition invites the eye to naturally follow this sweet scene from the smiling boy to his lovely mom. Her arms, gracefully extended underwater, continue to lead us along as if we, too, are swimming. A heartwarming photograph!
Thanks for sharing Michiel!
