Addicted to the River

I have been kayaking on the Allegheny River every chance i get. I find it both relaxing and exhilarating. If i could do this every day i would.

Wildflowers along the shore are just one of the beautiful wonders to behold. I have been fortunate to see my favorite bird, the heron, on all of my trips on the river at least once. Like a statue standing along the shore patiently waiting for the unsuspecting fish and then majestically flying to the sky when I've come to close. I've tried unsuccessfully to photograph this magnificent animal, but my camera is not so great and by the time i get my camera ready its too late. One of these days I'll get a good shot.

On a trip down the river someone commented how this driftwood looked like a woman sprawled out. This trip i decided to snap a pic. Hmmm, not to be crude, but they were mistaken its a man !
