Today had a short paddle trip in the waters of the upper portion of the Wekiva River. Not the best day to be out taking pictures but a good one to be on the river. The pics are not necessary my best ones but they are not terrible. Wanted to go to Haulover Canal but have friends coming to a wedding next weekend and would like to take them there.

Put In / Take Out: Wilson's Landings at Sanford. There is no fee but, be aware, is not the easiest put in or take out location. You will have to drag or carry your kayak maybe a 100 yards from the drop area to the river. Easy when you are going in, a little bit harder when you are coming out.

Started my trip at 9 AM and was back on the minivan by 12:45 PM. Went up river for 3 hours seeing only a lonely fisherman and the a trio of noisy kayakers before turning around. No wind, no Sun on a nice day at the Wekiva River...

And this is it for this one. Another typical day on the scenic Wekiva River. Have to admit that I have neglected this area. It is really beautiful and scenic. Have to come here more often. Will post more pics on our Facebook Page so feel free to take a look. Thanks for reading and receive and invitation to come back for the next Views From Our Kayak.

Stunning series of pictures! Not so good..ha! Especially like the first one of the woodpecker in the Spanish Moss and the Belted Kingfisher!
ReplyDeleteWhat she said. I'm impressed by your "little bird" pictures. I rarely get those. I've been seeing a lot of mergansers over on the Gulf. Not breeding phase there, yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog (and to kayaking, for that matter, having just acquired my first after Christmas), but wanted to say hello and compliment you on the photos, especially here. Great stuff! I see you're like me, at a bit of a loss when it comes to identifying those LBBs (Little Brown Birds). :) My initial thought on the first one was a sparrow of some sort, but the speckled breast is unusual and it looks a bit larger. So I still don't have a clue. :) Anyway, keep paddlin'!
