First outing of 2010!

Not in Wisconsin though. In Myakka State Park in Florida. It was so peaceful and lovely and reminded me why I like kayaking so much. I don't do it for the challenge or excitement. I just want a little river with lots of birds and wildlife to quietly paddle by. Here I am paddling by a bird and an alligator!






















There were lots of alligators, in the water too, but those dipped under my kayak. We were happy to avoid each other. Here' s a big one on the shore:














Wild turkeys:
















great blue heron:























Limpkin?






















Black vultures and great egret













Saw some turtles too but the picture is blurry.
