Last month I flew back to Michigan for a wedding. I was in a small town just outside of Lansing on my way to the chapel when I crossed this river. The canoe riders looked like an old married couple, maybe in their late fifties. I took over 40 exposures. You don't get this sort of thing in LA.
Best viewed on large.

A group of canoes is put away after a long day of use, and are waiting in the sunset. Shot at Paradise Canyon recreation site, east of San Antonio.
Inside are life jackets, all sizes, for the kids. I really hate calling them portable flotation devices; they're life jackets, meaning, if you wear them, they can save your life. More organization: the kids come down, put up their tag to say they're on the dock, pick up their life jacket and paddle, and off they go with their canoe leader. The Y has been running Camp Howdy for (I think) something like 50 years.
Following my sunrise morning photo solo paddle, and after a brief on-shore recuperation (kneeling in a canoe after a while takes its toll on your ankles), I ventured out onto the lake again, this time in the company of Tom Fullerton. In addition to enjoying the early morning lake and the ducks, we had a great conversation, and had a chance to share some wonderful stories.
Tom's comments during the #Unplugd closing circle were that much more meaningful as a result of this paddle on Saturday morning.

Almost canoe basketball as the net is raised about 3 feet the water level. Came across a kayak club training for their next match while I was wandering around a local(ish) aquadrome. The teams play over a wide geographic area with this club from just outside London playing matches as far afield as North Wales.
Colorful canoes on kyu nagakawa river
This 10th April was the annual spring open day at Edogawa Rowing Club. Winter is gone. Colorful boats were floating gently in the spring breeze under the mellow sun. Viewers gathered around the river side in tents under the cherry blossom trees.

Chief Tomahawk in his war canoe was sold under the Penguin brand name and later the Tri-ang one - briefly in the early 1950s . He winds up and paddles furiously. This particular toy (model?) has just been acquired – only missing the feathers on the heads – Chief Tomahwk still has his tomahawk. Triang at some stage sold the tooling to a company called Kleeware who then produced the 'Chief' for a brief period in bizarre colours (see other pics) and with a ‘lumberjack’ style figure as the passenger.

Tribal Canoe Journeys of Pacific Northwest Native American Tribes, a significant cultural event that takes place once a year.
The Puyallup Tribe of Washington State was the host tribe for 2018 for all the Canoes sent by other tribes along the Pacific Northwest Coast. Tribes all along the coast traveled via paddling their traditional Ocean Canoes, beautiful, functional and ornate! These Canoe teams traveled from as far as Alaska, including far stretches of Vancouver Island, British Columbia and far stretches of Oregon Coast. Paddling for 4 to 6 six hours a day, some for over ten days, battling ocean current, heat and sheer physical exhaustion.
Each Canoe was fitted with a GPS Transponder and its latest position was updated in 30min intervals in the Website : paddletopuyallup.org/
If you disregard the reflections, the water in Emerald Lake really is this color. Amazingly beautiful little lake. This is in Yoho National Park which is in British Columbia. I have very limited internet acess on this long trip, and apologie in advance for not being able to respond to comments.
These canoes were docked on the Red Cedar at MSU in a kind of funny location. This is only about a hundred yards upriver from the stepoff behind the Admin building, and that would wreck most canoes.
