Kayaking yesterday

I had a lot to do yesterday when I got home from work but it was so beautiful that I took my kayak out on the river instead. That proved to be a good choice. There were very few people out yesterday and it was a very quiet and serene way to spend the afternoon. I saw baby geese, a snake, several deer, lots of fish the usual mallard ducks and for the first time in my life some wood ducks - a mother and several babies. The river valley was once a major transportation route. The railroad still follows the river but the roads are abandoned now. Some very well built stone bridges and culverts remain, though. I'm including some photos here. There's a road bridge/culvert, a picture of the river, and a snappy shot of a deer who seemed more curious than skittish as I floated by.
