Canoe trip

Husband and I went on a teeny little canoe trip today.

The day was absolutely lovely.

River start

The river really is beautiful.

River scape

A pretty waterlily blossom.

I had a picture of a big turtle, but it didn't come out. So here, a couple herons.

I love the pattern of the water over the shallows.

There were sections of the river were it looked like waving prairie grass...unfortunately, the picture can't compare to the subtle, hypnotic wave of the weeds underwater.

A bridge from 1888.

There was one part of the river that looked like an enchanted faerie realm. It was amazingly beautiful. Sadly, my pictures can't even approximate the lovely look.

And then we waited to get picked up.

River end

We had such a great time!

It really was! And we were almost entirely alone for the whole trip, too. It was an absolutely perfect day for it. :) *hugs*
