Paddling up the Mississippi

Remarkable day to go for a paddle.  Very hot and clear. I was surprised at how many fish I saw - (polarized sunglasses help).  Very calming and relaxing.  Saw a few birds along the way (grebe, loon, kingfisher, great blue heron, many others).  Paddled for an hour or so then jumped in for a swim.

this angle is getting tiresome!
