Cruising along the river bluffs in this ride is a favorite part of my summer. No gasoline is required and just a little paddling takes me along the cool shallows lining the river. Among the trees and the bluffs reside all sorts of living things that are so easy to see, including blue herons perched on branches high above the water, kingfishers flitting about the shore and hummingbirds that sound like drills and look like miniature drones. And I can't forget other things with wings -- butterflies. There are monarchs and swallowtails galore plus other species not so easily recognizable. The refreshing cool along with the damp smell of the forest meeting the river is invigorating. Oh the places I can go ... in my kayak.
