Back in the Saddle Again (Re-post)

(This post originally published in September 2010) After 3 months abstinence from kayaking, I made my first, renewed kayak adventure yesterday! I have 2 favorite places nearby where I like to kayak/photograph. One of the areas has extremely low water levels right now and navigating the creek is impossible with camera equipment, due to downed […]

Bedtime (Re-post)

With all the rain we’ve been getting, I haven’t been able to go kayaking for the last week … starting to get cabin fever! I decided I’d go back through my images from last year; I still have some keywording and adding images to my collections to do in Lightroom. As I was going through […]

Breakfast hors d’oeuvres (Re-post)

(Originally published July 2010) On my last kayak outing, I was hoping to see Momma Raccoon (Procyon lotor) with her 5 kits again. They are so much fun to watch/photograph.

A Kayak Adventure (Re-post)

(This post was originally published in June, 2010) With the slowdown in the number of rains moving through our area, I was able to get out in the kayak 3 times this past week. I am currently working a State Conservation area that is about 10 miles from my house. When I awoke yesterday morning, […]

“Just Let Me Sleep!”

Last week while I was kayaking and watching for warblers, I happened to look up a nearby dead tree and saw this furry little ball, with only 2 little ears showing, soundly sleeping in the fork of the tree:     I was pretty sure I knew what it was, but paddled a bit closer to get into […]
