This weekend Lil’ Red and I went out on the river. I renamed him to Lil’ Red because the board is so maneuverable and fun. Compared to the longer boards that I had been renting, he is just little.
It is a good thing that he is so responsive and easy to handle. We had to maneuver around a very enthusiastic Boy Scout troop, a kayak group, a volunteer cleanup group, and many more. Random fact of the trip: the cleanup group found a beer can from 1988. The water was the clearest I have seen there. A fabulous day that I hope will carry me past any stress of the week.
While I did see some turtles and fish in the water, I was not fast enough to capture them in good light. Here is what my magic Nikon was able to capture:

I was hoping you would show a picture of your board! It’s so pretty! 🙂 Your photos are very interesting! The water does look very clear.
Lil’ Red and I both thank you!
The water there is amazing. It is only a few feet deep where those plants were so also safer for a newbie like me. 8)
It sounds wonderful!
It’s always amazing what you’ll catch out in nature ;glad you had a fun weekend;)
Thanks. It’s great to have a new excuse to go outside! Tho, it may have been the people that were the most surprising. 😉
I bet you get a good workout from that. You probably have a rock-hard core by now. 🙂
Not quite a six pack yet 8). I did pig out a little but still feel good because if the toning.
My spell check has been on strike lately but the messages still seem interpretable. 8)
These are beautiful, Katie. I can’t believe how clear the water is!
Thanks so much!!! I think I will be looking for a spring that has manatees when it cools off a little more.
And I’ll be looking for your successful finds on the blog!
Deal!!
Great pictures! Very peace-inducing!
Thanks! 8)
