Golden Retriever Swims Like A Fish
Out on the kayak today with Rebecca in Maryland.
This beautiful golden retriever named Rudder was playing on the bank and in the water.
He was swimming and chasing a toy that the friendly owners were throwing way out into the pond.
On this hot sunny day, this dog was having a blast, and the people seemed to enjoy talking with us about him.
Overall this was a welcome break from the Dog Days of Summer. ;-)

The Fisherman
I was out in the water in a kayak enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
I paddled over near to the fisherman, but not so close as to scare away his catch.
It was hot and very sunny out on the water--there was only a little shade near the bank of the pond--and I frequently had to wipe my forehead beading with sweat under the open sun.
But it was nice to just be out there--on the water, surrounded by the greenery, the sun overhead, some birds and frogs about, and a even a little breeze shimmering over the the water.
Even better than paddling itself, is just stopping, sort of sitting back, and just listening to the silence, breathing in the nature, and letting everything else just go for a little while.
One with nature, one with G-d, and feeling integrated myself. ;-)

Turtle Tank
Turtles are one of my favorite creatures.
The challenge in photographing them while they sun tan on the tree trunk is that when you get to close they simply dive into the water.
This one turtle was a little older and larger, and was basically fearless.
We paddled right up to him and he held steady there.
So awesome--turtles live in and by the beautiful water, have a tank-like protective armor, and are basically peaceful loving.
While I never got into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I think the real ones are all that. ;-)

Reflections
I couldn't believe they open at 6:30 in the morning already to rent boats on a Sunday.
In the boathouse, there was a huge spider on the floor crawling around, and the boat attendant came with a thingamajig to grab it and throw it back in the lake.
As he took the spider away, he made sure to tell us that is was POISONOUS!
On the lake, I took this photo of the gorgeous trees and greenery and it's reflection on the water...a perfect mirror image.
Thank you G-d for the amazing world you have created and allow us to enjoy. ;-)
