Just around the river bend...

I've been feeling a little stessed out lately, the kind of stressed out that makes me feel creepy-crawly and trapped in my own house. Usually the only cure for that kind of stress is a jaunt into the great outdoors. But, as you know, around here, the great outdoors can be a little hot during the summer. The solution? Kayaking.

45 minutes of propelling myself along the glittery river, watching flocks of geese fly over, laughing at one awkward yet effective duck landing, seeing fish jump, and saying hi to other friendly kayakers and river folk? Fantastically rejuvenating afternoon.
