A kayaker's dream scene, I had to pinch myself. The water is constantly changing with the light which makes this place quite magical. Earlier in the day I went for a long swim, I was determined not to squeal getting in like some of the old guys I heard. People were looking at me like I was some kind of strange, cold blooded water creature after I dived in without making a sound. The ice cold water isn't easy to embrace but once in, you don't want to get out, so refreshing on a hot day.

Kayaking at early morning, Kearney Lake Algonquin Park.

When kayaking on Lake Moraine you need to be careful because tipping over in this water can be deadly. With the water at approximately 40 degree hypothermia can set in fast. They suggest kayaking close to the shore.

Love the majestic Northwest Coast, here gazing down from cliffs just south of Coos Bay.

One evening at Algonquin PP the sunset was lighting up the island like a spotlight. Then this Person in a Kayak paddled into the frame and I just had to take the shot.

An eastbound BNSF manifest freight skirts the shores of the Missouri River west of Lombard, Montana, on a perfect early Summer evening. It couldn't get too much better than this.

All calm on the loch today

A couple were getting ready to take their dog out for a ride on their kayaks.

Another pov/comp of Washington state's official waterfall. The autumn flow is considerably lower than springtime when it really roars.

The falls doesn't look too tall from here. But it drops 187 feet (57 meters), 17 more than Niagara Falls.

Was hard to believe that a kayaker, Tyler Bradt, intentionally went over the falls in his kayak. Tyler set the world record for the longest falls drop ride. The video of that impressive accomplishment in comment box. Couldn't figure out how to post it in the description...

A second kayaker, Rafael Ortiz, also took the ride 3 years later.

Anybody up to be the third......?

Thanks sincerely for your visits and comments!

While kayaking, there are a lot of reflections in the water. Not easy to frame a picture when the slightest wind drives this easy to capsize boat away!

Kayaks and canoes define the Florida lifestyle along the lazy South Fork of the St. Lucie River. The photo was taken from Halpatiokee Regional Park in Stuart, Florida.

Maybe it wasn't the most suitable place for it, but it was the most beautiful in the world.

Three kayakers paddle out to take a look at the sunset on Lake Waubesa.

There are so many back country streams and rivers in Florida that are easy to explore by kayak and canoe. This image is from the Hillsborough River that flows through Tampa County. Its an easy river to spend a quiet day on. There is no white water or much current so you have to do the paddle work but you will see a lot of birds like ibis and snake birds and even the occasional and non threatening alligator. You can fish along the way on on the bank. The put in here was at Lettuce Leaf Park. My best advise is to bring plenty of water, sunscreen and a good hat along with your snacks as it can get very warm and humid from March to October. Its a peaceful and green journey. If you don't have a kayak or canoe many Florida parks have them for rent at a reasonable price just google for prices and hours available. Enjoy the ride , kids love this too.
