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.

Normally, I shoot these for all the purty colors. But, guess what. Black and white works too, sometimes.

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.
On Gozo, Malta at the site of the former Azure Window rock arch that collapsed into the sea in 2017.
It was already a beautiful evening to witness the famous high tide rapids at Skookumchuck Narrows, but the fact a team of very experienced kayakers took it in turns to get in there, literally battling and riding the waves (in teeny-tiny kayaks) added to the whole wondrous spectacle. Needless to say they looked exhilarated (and knackered) when they'd finished their 5-10-minute stint. I hope to have some good shots from my Nikon - my husband got some incredible close-ups with his new 400mm zoom lens. We were lucky enough to catch lovely golden light too. This was at Roland's Point. (Snapped on iPhone SE)
As I was packing up to leave on Saturday I noticed a Kayak pulled onto the shore ... took a couple of frames...

Kayaking Bodega Bay with Amy yesterday. Found that if we got up to speed and stopped paddling 50 feet in advance and then glided into position, the shorebirds let you get very close (like pelicans). But at about 20 feet, a viral meme seems to reverberate through the crowd very quickly, and the Marbled Godwits all take off suddenly, en masse. I wondered what it must be like to live in their tribe, snacking from the marsh, living with the weather and the tides and the groupthink.
Early morning on the beach and alone a chap drags his kayak into the water. There was something solemn about the ritual.
A load of Kayaks in a trailer at Aberdyfi. I think the colours stood out against the blue sky.

Still teaching myself about the Canon R in West Virginia. I stumbled upon these kayakers unloading their gear for a trip downstream. I raced back to the car to find this suitable location to capture their moments.
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!
As he splashed by where I had been sitting, another Indian-style open canoe was coming along the opposite way, and both moved to give each other plenty of space, with some good natured smiling and waving as they passed, all clearly enjoying themselves.
