There are so many fun things about kayaking on the lakes in our area. From loading the kayaks into the truck and driving off to the various lakes that are within 2 or 3 hours of where we live, it's really the most fun and healthy thing that we do. It's got some hard work involved.... lifting the kayaks off the truck and carrying them down to the water (and back later on) can be tricky at times, and the winds blowing across the lakes can make your paddling experience brisk, to say the least. But a day spent on a sunny mountain lake is very fulfilling, and we get to see great flora and fauna that we wouldn't otherwise see at close range:
You can play Hide-and-Seek:
You can wonder at a mysterious group of curved trees (not a trick photo!):
You can see snow in August:
You can eat lunch on an island:
You can question the sense of a duck paddling on its back while trying to choke down a fish:
And you can paddle back to the truck tired and happy for all the wonders that you were so blessed to get to see and enjoy:
Beautiful photos of gorgeous scenery. Thank you for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteYou live in such a beautiful region! I guess you have to have that beauty to offset the snow :)
ReplyDeleteJackie, I'm so glad you are able to kayak after all your back troubles! I went kayaking for the first time ever last month. It was awesome! I can't wait to do it again.
ReplyDeleteKayaking is the best thing for my neck, Janie. It totally helps it. And yes, I was hooked on it after the first time we tried it... wasn't long before we bought our own kayaks. Storing them is a pain! But we love them anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Jackie! Looks like a lot of fun, and it's great that Kayaking is so good for your neck! Thank you for sharing!
