Lower Wekiva River - From Katie's Landings

Barred Owl

Had my shortest paddle ever today at the Lower Wekiva River...less than two hours. But short does not mean boring, or bad. In my opinion a good one. This one will be different and short as do not have many pics. Maybe you will like it better like that.

My day did not start well. The plan was to go to Blue Spring but that did not work. Long story but that is not important now. Bottom line, arrived at Katie's around 8 AM and left by 10:30. Did not spend too much time in the water as had a softball game with co-workers at 12:30. Kayaking and playing some ball...two of my favorite activities. OK...enough...Here are the pics of what I saw in the two hours at the Lower Wekiva River...

And this is it for this one. Maybe not what you were expecting but, was not a normal day at the Lower Wekiva River. I think that for the time spent there, it was not bad. Will post a few more pics in the Facebook page so this is an invitation if you wish to check it.  Thanks for coming and hope you come back for the next Views From Our Kayak.
