Self portrait kayaking!


Self portrait kayaking!

Today, the last day of Winter 2009, I decided to give my feet a rest and paddle over to the land and then down to the dam. It was a good workout for me, and a chance to use the FZ7. I did use my dry bag but only loosely so I could keep the lens cover off. Besides this pic of the intrepid blogger-kayaker, I did manage one good bird shot.
Among other things, I saw lots of swallows, carp starting to jump, Night Herons, One Great Blue Heron, Two Canada Geese who were mighty offended to find me paddling by, and the largest flock of woodducks I have seen...must have been two dozen in a large willow/cotttonwood grove that is always partially submerged at this time of year.
All in all, a very mellow kayak trip up stream and down to the dam.
