It seems a little incongruous to be posting these photos from kayaking on the river, while outside there's a snowstorm. But I didn't get around to posting them till now.
I was pulling my kayak down the back alley to the river (we have wheels that strap on) when a butterfly went by. I had my camera, but only the telephoto lens (thinking of birds). Luckily it focuses reasonably close and I still got some decent shots of this Painted Lady.
Butterfly photography taken care of, I continued on to the river! As soon as I got on the water I saw this Yellowlegs. But between the the bird's constant movement and the kayak being pulled away by the current, I had a hard time getting a decent shot. This was the best I did and it's still not as sharp as I'd like.
There were lots of gulls on the sandbars.
And a few ducks around.
And of course, Canada geese.
The trees were already starting to change, adding some color to the reflections.
