Gravity… Not Just a Good Idea, It’s the Law!
Tonight, on a pleasant evening in April when my buddy Darrin, his wife Janeen, and I were paddling… somebody had to go and dump his canoe. Somehow he managed to tip it without making hardly a sound, not even the splash of a complete kit of advanced Nikon camera gear was heard (even though it all went in the water). Then we saw him standing in the marsh, his canoe floating nicely, and every bit of gear was wet. At least his gear was insured…
If I have any disappointment other than the fact that it happened, I sure wish Darrin had been wearing a self-inflating life jacket so we could have heard it and seen inflate! Dang…maybe next time.

As interesting as Darrin dumping his canoe was, I did see other things today. Several great egrets allowed for imaging.

One other sight commonly observed this time of year is burning, in this case a prairie/wetland area. The activity makes for interesting photos. In a couple of weeks a person will be challenged to know there was ever a fire here.
