sunny sunday
spent
kayaking
and
floating
and
sharing
the water
with
blue herons
ducks
geese
swallows
bass
lily pads
and
a quiet breeze
on
a lazy river
a river is more than an amenity, it is a treasure — oliver wendell holmes

Love kayaks and canoes – they are so non-invasive , you become a part of all the life and environment around (as opposed to a motor-boat). They are awesome to enjoy life – yours and nature’s.
Beautiful Beth (and Pooh is a fav of mine) 😀 Thank You.

Canoeing or kayaking on a lazy river under the blue sky….I love doing that too.
I’ve never been interested in going out on “white water” with swirling water, rocks, and waterfalls.
I get enough excitement from regular life. When I go out on the water, I just want to relax and enjoy.

Sounds like a lot of fun. I *almost* did some ocean kayaking a couple of weeks ago, but it wasn’t meant to be. I’ll try again soon 🙂

It looks like you had this section of the river to yourself, as far as humans go. I love all the ‘critters’ you ran into, Beth! I particularly like herons, they are special to me. I am so glad you enjoyed your kayaking get-away, Beth!

Which river?

The Huron River is a 130-mile-long (210 km) river in southeastern Michigan, rising out of the Huron Swamp in Indian Springs Metropark in northern Oakland County and flowing into Lake Erie.
The river was named after the Huron band of Native Americans who lived in the area. In Native languages, it was called cos-scut-e-nong sebee or Giwitatigweiasibi. It was part of a Native American trade route.
