Kayaking is sleek and soothing in calm water and no wind. You can explore around the lily pads and look for fish and birds and get to see places that you can’t drive or walk to. Taking pictures is not particularly easy since you are moving with the water, and have to fish the camera out of its water protection, a tupperware in my case, when you find something new to take a picture of. The hardest part is getting in and out of the kayak. In between you just have to not do anything exciting if you are in a decent kayak and wish to stay upright and dry. And you must remember that the way back might be harder than the trip out depending on current and wind. These pictures are from Horseshoe and Fishtrap Lakes.
