I've taken six trips along the Thornapple River in my new (used) kayak during April and May and decided to post a number of photos. Here, you can watch as the trees slowly over themselves with leaves and see some of the animals I saw (those I was able to capture through the lens of a camera). Enjoy.

Lot of redbuds out down here too. With my legs as they are, I could no longer canoe, much less Kayak, I fear.
ReplyDeleteCharles, you might try a sit-on-top kayak as they'd be easier to get in and out. Also, most of the other boats you see in the photo (except for mine) have a large cockpit that makes it easier to get in and out. You have some good country to explore around you down there and a kayak would be a good way to see it.
DeleteWow Sage the Thornapple River looks like an awesome place to do some kayaking. And I love that shot of the turtle :)
ReplyDeletelooks like a lovely river to kayak along. i never did learn to roll a kayak,
ReplyDeleteRedbuds are such pretty trees! It looks like a lovely place to kayak!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, especially the reflection ones. Very Van Gogh like.
ReplyDeleteI'm probably approaching 20 years since I last rolled a kayak and I am in the unusual position of not owning one anymore. One of these days I'll have to remedy that. Is rolling your kayak after thirty years like getting on a bike after 30 years?
Beautiful pix. I love the turtles and the red bud and the water ripples are better than modern art!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but your recreation always looks like too much work. {;-o}}}}}}}}}}}
