Silhouetted against a field of blue, this scene of moving towards a summer camp shows that all hands can make for lighter work during the move. All who are able are carrying something towards the new camp; dogs haul stuffed packs, men float the kayaks across the open water and women haul pails with children in tow. Shown from behind as the group walks away, Vera Avaala has created a charming scene.
