Paddling with Friends

Saturday February 4, 2012

 

I just love the view out our front window. 

So do Moby and Handy who have set up a slightly elevated spot
for better viewing.
It seems the Aloe plant likes to hang out in the shower
with its skylight rather than on the dashboard
and the Duckie Brothers have taken
over its drain tray, turning it upside down for a little lift.

 

Some of you may already have read about this kayak trip
on Gin and Syl’s or Dan and Trisha’s blogs.  
They are all more on the ball and up to date than I.  
But I want to have my pictures and my memories
as part of my record so I’ll share them with you.
There are 3 sides to this story.  :-)

 

Due to an oversight, we left the Duckie Brothers
watching us from the coach as we pulled away
from the shore. 

We could almost see them
there in Winnona but it was too late by then.
They are sure going to be mad missing a water
opportunity like this.

 

 

Gin & Syl’s site is upstream from ours
so Dan and Trisha and Gin and Syl put in
there and paddled down to pick us up.

 

We felt really badly when we saw Roamin was
with Syl

 

 

We saw a variety of birds.
Like these……
maybe my birding friends can help me identify them.

I think this is a little blue heron.

And these are oyster catchers.

This is a pink floater

And of course the speed limit obeying pelican.
He is idling isn’t he???

 

There were some races.
Not sure who’s ahead but you’ve got to love the hat!

 

Looks like the hat won.

 

Beautiful Sandy Beaches.

 

 

 

Wild life that posed for photographs

 

 

 

 

 

Really lovely spots for congregating.

 

 

 

Just an all around wonderful day!
Thanks to Gin & Syl & Dan & Trisha
and the amazingly beautiful Natural World!
