Kayaking the Myakka, Part 2

In this second part of my “Kayaking the Myakka”, I’m going to feature a few of the many alligator images I captured from the kayak.

But before I share the gator images, here is an image I captured using my cell phone. I think you will see how peaceful it can be kayaking the Myakka River. It was so quiet … no cars, no people shouting. About the only sound was the occasional bird foraging at the river’s edge and the sound of water dripping from my paddle as I kayaked about. What a wonderfully relaxing paddle!
