I had another great paddle in my kayak on the Potomac River yesterday. I launched at Algonkian Regional Park, one of my favorite local places to put in. There was minimal wind, the water was crystal clear, and the air was crisp. I saw about six or eight other people out paddling…making the most of the good weather before the winter settles in.
I did not see much in the way of wildlife just one Great Blue heron and a Bald eagle…both a a distance. The park itself was still doing quite a business with a number of people out fishing and barbecuing. I got out there on the water a little after two and after being on the water for about two hours, the light had already diminished considerably. I think I might be able to get a couple of more paddles in before I bring the kayak in for the winter.
Here are a few pictures from the venture:
