From my kayak 8/19-28

We’ve paddled the usual places the past 10 days.  The mornings are getting colder and more foggy. We’ve seen great blue herons, green herons, cormorants, loons, ducks and other creatures.  Loons do fly, they just take a long runway to take off.

Fog on the Connecticut

We walked at Kilowatt this afternoon, through thick fog. There weren’t many dogs for Munchkin to play with, but there were things to see. The river was glassy.

Geese and duck near the log. This log had spent most of the summer near the shore. A few days ago, they let the river get a little higher and it floated off.
