The wonders of nature





On Monday I got home from work early enough to load the kayaks, grab Cody and head to Hemlock for a quick paddle. We paddled the inlet and made it a mile and a half until we hit a fallen tree that we could not cross. We saw two Blue Herons, a Beaver and an Eagle. I will have to get the Cannon out once I am sure I am not going to roll it into the drink and try and get some quality pictures.
Ron and I paddled about 12 miles on Sunday and we found a willow that has dropped roots down to "drink" out of the lake. The roots extend down into the water about six inches and get very red below the surface. They do not go to the bottom so they sway back and forth in the waves. Way cool, nature making things happen. Here are a few pics of the roots. We saw an Eagle and I did get a picture but it was to far away to be worth much.
