Beautiful!! And very different from Ontario and New York!
So nice to see open water. Quite depressing here as temps are running about 20 degrees below normal, it was colder on Easter Day than on Christmas Day and snow continued today. Looks warmer in Alaska!

Is that Patagonia Lake/Sonoita Creek? If so, I’ve birded there in the past, but never paddled it. Very pretty (and birdy!)
It is. There are several boat in only camp spots and sometimes we go there for an overnight. Not many options down here on the south end. Hoping to be farther north in the state this summer.
Paw Paw river SW Michigan yesterday. Flooded area adjacent to main channel.
One spot where the river is overflowing and you can see water running downhill.

Took the RVers kayaking this weekend. The Ocklawaha River between Gores landing and Eureka was good weather and paddling. Water was lower than it has been in a while. More of summer levels. Fresh deadfall was often projecting out in the river but we were able to round and clear the obstructions. Some had other river dwellers on the trees.
Zoom to center of the tree…
The lillys were not blooming yet on the Ock…but at Lake Sampson they were in full bloom…
The “blind misquitos” were in full swarm…note they are midges…(flys that don’t bite) They look like skeeters but don’t feed in their adult stage of life. Reproduce and die. They have no mouth. At night the air was full of them flying around hitting you in the face, arms, etc. YOu could hear a fly “buzzing” sound there was so many.

Pretty much the same both place. Except none are as “civilized” as Rays Wayside…or as crowded.
