Wekiva River
Jun. 11th, 2012 11:03 amYikes. Did I really let over a week go by before posting about this? Yes, yes, I did. In my defense...no, I really don't have anything to say there. Onwards.
So, yes, my brother and I headed out to the Wekiva River a couple of weekends back, to take advantage of the very few remaining sorta cool mornings before it becomes too hot to move (like, say, not at random, today). I even got on a canoe with an electric motor. In general, I am not a boat person these days -- one movement from side to side, and I am not very happy -- but if you can promise me that the boat won't be moving very much, and barely from side to side at all, this can be a good thing. The Wekiva, a flat, slow moving river that meanders from freshwater springs out to the St. John's River, is that sort of river.
As always, my camera took one look at the river and said, wait, we're outdoors? I hate you. It grumbled about the light all the way down river and on the way back, when the light absolutely could not have been more ideal, announced that it really didn't have batteries. (This was a lie.) So, my pictures, not exactly good, but here they are.
