Kayaking . . . my last time kayaking here before we head up north on Tuesday. I saw egrets, herons, turtles, and deer but they all flew, swam, or ran away as soon as I approached...they definitely weren't in the mood for posing for photos today. I was a bit disappointed initially that I didn't get any of those shots but as I paddled along enjoying the beautiful weather and nature all around me, I decided for today the experience was going to be more important than getting photos. I took this shot with my phone to document my kayaking activity for the day. The next kayaking photos I post will be from Lake Winnipeg in Canada. :-)
My sincere thanks for the amazing comments and favs on both the Young Chickadee and Doe photos. Your support is always truly appreciated!
Would love to be in a kayak paddling next to you - what a fabulous view you've got there. I'm excited to hear that you're headed back to Canada - and know your weather there has got to be better than you're having now! It's miserable here and know Texas isn't any better. Going to be quite envious!
I read your comment having just put my camera so that we could just experience the concert I am at without disturbing anybody or driving myself crazy. So I know just what you mean about experiencing the experience. You got a lovely photo anyway and the sky surely cooperated. Enjoy your vacation
I am imagining you in your Kayak looking ahead to this glorious view of rippling water & a stunning sky .& I love the blue tip of your kayak...a wonderful photo for your day....look forward Gayle to your Canadian photos
It must be wonderful to just take up your kayak and go travelling along the rivers and lakes. Everything always looks very different from the water, as you get a different perspective.
What a lovely capture. I love how the nose of the kayak leads us to that beautiful blue sky! I hope you've arrived in Canada ok. Looking forward to seeing some shots from there. xx
@jamibann Hi, Issi! Thanks so much for checking up on me! We’re now at the cottage at Lake Winnipeg and have family visiting so I’m waiting until everything settles down a bit and I’ll be able to spend time getting back into my photo project again. Hope everything is going well for you. I’m sure with your husband’s retirement and move back to Scotland this is a very busy time for you. :-)
@gardenfolk Yes, all is well! We’re in Canada, at Lake Winnipeg at our family cottage . . . I’ve been so busy with family visiting and getting settled into our summer cottage life I haven’t taken time for my photo project . . . but I’ll definitely get back into it ASAP! Thank you so much for checking up on me! I certainly appreciate it! Give sweet Katniss a special hug for me. :-)
Just stopped by to say hello too, and check up on you. I'm not doing much myself on 365 at the moment -so very busy, and just trying to keep my head above water in Scotland.xx
@jamibann Hi, Issi! You are so kind to stop by and check up on me. The good thing...I’m thoroughly enjoying my current life experiences, swimming and kayaking in the lake just about every day. The bad thing...it seems I’ve currently lost my motivation for my photo project. I’m thinking (hoping) I just need a bit of a break and will soon get the urge to jump back in. Hope all is going well for you in Scotland! :-)
@gaylewood So glad all is going well for you, despite the lack of photos! Looking forward to you returning one day ... I miss your daily posts! All well in Scotland. That's 3 weeks we've been back, and I feel almost in control again. There's still a lot of outside work to be finished at our house though ... and they've gone on holiday. Arrgh! Hopefully by the end of August the mess will be finished with!
Hi Gayle. Me too, wondering where you got to and if all is well. I'm glad you are having a great time with the kayaking and swimming and that all is well. Take care. Hope to see your posts again one day.
How fun to see so many people checking in on you! That is exactly why I'm here today too. Enjoy the lake and I hope you find your inspiration/motivation and return to 365 some time. Take care!
Hi Gayle! It does sound like you are having a grand time in and around the water. You must be in great shape too! Well, you know what they say, it takes 21 days to create a habit and even less time to get out of habit, which I have done with my walking, so I understand how photography has taken a backseat for you..we miss you and your photos...take care until you return!
Hi Gayle. It is lovely that you keep popping up on my feed - so I know that you are checking in from time to time. Did you loose interest in the photography, or loose the time to keep up with it, I wonder. I do hope you are OK.
@helenhall Hi, Helen! Thanks for your message although I’m definitely late in responding. I suppose my break from 365 is due to a combination of being super busy with yard and house projects and a decrease in motivation for my photo project. I’m wondering if possibly the new year will bring a renewed interest in my project. I still thoroughly enjoy checking in with my friends on 365 regularly. I hope you have a wonderful and joyous holiday season, Helen! Thank you again for checking on me. :-)
@gardenfolk Thank you so much! It is so sweet of you to check in on me. Warm wishes for a very Happy New Year to you, also! I’m hoping 2019 brings a renewed interest in my photo project. :-)
