I went out today in a canoe, for the first time in about 20 years. What I enjoy most about being on the river is getting up close to the wildlife (geese, swans, duck, swallows, and the occasional muskrat) and also to the water lilies. It was hard to paddle through thick plants, so we turned back after I got this shot.
No longer middle aged, and no longer taking pictures every day....but cannot quit yet.

Middle, middle. Middle-aged, middle America. I just like taking...
