Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Last evening at dusk
I was in my kayak
contemplating
the enormity
of the moment
when
suddenly
a school of silver fish
took to the air
and flew before me in an arc!

Wish you could have been there,
but I thought of
you.

Welcome to Waikiki!

Don't worry.

No one will be paddled in this post! -

Goodbye Wil, Heff, & Bama Trav;-)

We're talking about kayak paddling, silly!

That's my baby, right by the hatch (door to you) for a quick getaway when blogging gets too intense.

Join us out there!

See the reflection of me taking this picture?

Time To GO!

I hadn't used my kayak in over a year!

Now I go out almost every day.

It's peaceful on the water, and I get to see my home

from a different perspective than usual.

Out there,

I like to sing nonsense songs to myself,

or think about things I've read that day;

perhaps something I saw on YOUR blog.

On my first voyage after so long, I saw a sea turtle!

The head broke the water just in front of me,

and we met eye to eye.

"Where have you been all this time?!"

was the message I got.

And he was right!

What's more important than

this?
