Santa Fe Saturday


Took the kayak out early Saturday morning for a paddle up to River Rise from the 41 bridge out of High Springs. Nice to be the only paddler on the river early. Hoped to capture some good light rays in the early mist but the fog too soon burned off, making for a hotter than anticipated journey. The current was quite swift and so the boat would turn constantly in the stream, causing me to paddle more than I wanted when trying to maneuver for a shot. Took way too many shots just to get a few I liked.
I keep going over them and taking note of what I did right and wrong in each one.
This one was on the fly as I knew soon the red belly turtle would jump in the water. One shot only. Further along on the return trip I floated right into one on a log, knocking him off with the front of my lens.
As usual with me, always an invitation to return as something remains to be improved upon.
