Circumnavigating the Neighborhood
Chop wood, carry water. There are things that just have to be done each day because they have to be done each day. One of those things is walking Ansel each morning. Although this ritual is usually carried out by Lady Linda, the job sometimes falls onto me. I, in turn, tend to get out much earlier than she, and I sometimes carry a camera along...just in case. It is interesting how carrying a camera often makes me more aware of details I might otherwise have missed. Sometimes the humidity and early hour help out as well (as seen above, 200 yards from my home...but I digress). Sometimes I see possum, coyotes and other denizens of the night on their way home. Sometimes, I discover a crime because the neighbor has done a poor job of hiding the evidence.Paddle safe...

Love your comment regarding how carrying a camera lets you see things you'd normally miss. It's so true!

As for paddling the seas of the world, it's not the water, it's what's in your head, that makes kayaking so wonderful!

Welcome, Peggy and welcome back, Michael. I look forward to hearing about QAJAQ camp and seeing more of Perry's photos.
