The feature photo is the marina where paddled, pink mountain views from the reflection of the sunrise.
Tuesday was the day for a kayaking adventure with my cousin. She had never kayaked out of Colter Bay and she wondered why she and her friends hadn’t ever checked it out before. She thought that they might have not wanted to deal with the boats which were coming back and forth to the marina, too fast if you ask me, and if I had had my camera with me I’d have been worried as we rode out the wakes they caused. But it’s hard enough to stop paddling and get your phone out for a picture or two, and I was having a tough enough time of it keeping up with Mary. She said that her paddling technique is to push with her upper hand, not pull back for each stroke. It must work for her because she was zipping right along, but it wasn’t working for me so I just kept on paddling. We were accompanied by an eagle who soared high over our heads pretty much the whole time we were out. He’s in the last picture, you can see him if you try hard enough. As soon as Mary said that she sees pelicans when she kayaks one flew into view. I got his picture but I didn’t get the great blue heron who was hunting along the shore. A nice couple of hours exploring the coves, which were quiet without the boats zipping through. And views in all directions…
