Chris, Bonnie and Becky's Full Moon Kayak

Friday July 18, 2008

It's been a long while. Has it really been a year?
I did go tandem kayaking with Mom over Thanksgiving and with Gina in Key West over July Fourth, but for the group, it's been a rough year.
It was worth the wait though; we had a beautiful sunset and a star filled sky and a full moon.
Twelve awesome paddlers enjoyed a yummy dinner at Mar Vista where new friendships were made.

A Blue Heron seeks out his dinner.

Brian and Erich.

A flock of Cormorant's hang in a mangrove.

Mark & Maggie Adler - in the Bike club since last January.

One of my favorite thing about kayaking is that you can get really close - this guy didn't seem to mind.

Two Wood Storks - Ken's favorite bird.

An Osprey.

Close-up.
I was close, but with a zoom lense it looks like he was right on top of me. He did start talking, though.

I was just in the right place at the right time. Nature did the rest.

Evokes a calm.

This house has an incredible view.

A White Heron searches for its dinner. There were lots of crabs in the sea grass.

All together: Rich, Neysa, Brian, Becky, Susan, Erich, Joe & Chris.

Another one this time with the entire group.

A Rosette Spoonbill makes its way along the shoreline.

Can you find the prism?

Don't you love it when a few birds fly into your photo?

Bob from Florida Paddlers. He had a really cool kayak.

I love these guys. The flying V.

Was this a set up?

Martina, this photo is for you!

I just love the colors.

Nature at its finest hour.

Until tomorrow.

The next full moon is Saturday August 16.
