Kayak Weather

I hate to let this beautiful weather pass without taking advantage of at least some of it.  This week we had the first bit of open-your-windows-at-night weather with cloudless sunny days and relatively low humidity.  We had lots of catching up to do with the house and yard and Penny was not feeling well enough to do more than a little quilting.

Today was different.  I loaded the Kayaks and we spent some of the morning on the bayou.

The weather was spectacular and although there wasn’t a huge amount of activity on the bayou we did see many of the birds we like to watch.

Here is what we saw:

A posing pelican.

We also latched up our kayaks side by side and just drifted enjoying the bayou and relaxing.

Not a bad morning.
