Brenda House, Rio Negro, the Amazon

My husband and I went for a two week fishing trip in the Amazon. I wanted to take music with me without harming my iPod or iPhone. The weather was very unpredictable and rained most of the time. This was one sunny day out on the boat catching and releasing Peacock Bass. - Brenda House

Worth Donaldson, Missinaibi River, Ontario

Not all of our 14 days on this remote river Northern River to Hudson Bay were calm and peaceful as this picture portrays. Every day we experienced moments of terror running fully loaded canoes into class III rapids. Half way into the trip a squall took us by surprise and pounded us with hail on Brunswick Lake. Nearing James Bay the cold winds blew off of Hudson Bay creating large waves that would break over our bows with every third set. No matter how wet I became or how much water poured into my canoe, I felt confident that my OtterBox 2500 would keep my camera dry. Thanks OtterBox! - Worth Donaldson
