No I Didn't

As much as I wanted to, I did not float this canoe on the Wapsipinicon River tonight. I know I have weeks, if not months, before I can paddle again, so I am remaining compliant with my recovery instructions. I will admit that the temptation was powerful, but I also know what is at risk and why I have restrictions. So, the canoe stayed dry and I protected my repair work for another day.

For those wanting other types of images, how about these two? I have for you a cutleaf coneflower and a large freshwater bryozoan.
