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!

We love canoes and quiet trips down winding rivers, just beautiful pics.

Thank you so much for the compliment!

It's such a pretty river--and there's a nice current, too, so it's very calming to drift downstream at points. And there was almost no one else on the river, which made it even better!
