Water ripples and reflections

Looking down has its benefits too. :D

Friday cloud blogging

Had the canoe out this past weekend for the first time this season.





We left the house at 5am in order put in just as the sun was rising -- the mist and fog and calm waters make the early rising worth it.









We picked the Tay canal and river as we've never been there before, wanted something relatively close and it was recommended to us. It was an amazing paddle -- so many loons and ducks and beavers shared the sunrise with us. Beautiful.

Ripples

From Saturday morning's excursion, canoeing on the calm waters of Crotch Lake.

It was a gorgeous day weather-wise. Clear skies, sunny but not hot. When we put in, we were greeted by a beaver swimming around us, coming close, so close, even closer ... and then with a big! splash of his tail he was gone. (Though we spotted his little head from across the lake a few more times that morning.)
