Friday, we hit the road early with our beast of a canoe. It was one of those extra warm fall days that you don't want to miss out on. In fact, it was in the 80's on the coast with no wind.
We went to our usual Beaver Creek and were in the water around 8:15.
We were the first up the Creek, which made it very peaceful.
We observed a nutria, great blue herons, garter snakes, red-tailed hawks, ducks, and vultures. They all seemed to be enjoying the warmth of the sun.

A family of mallard ducks not too concerned. We spent about 4 hours paddling up to the end of the navigable end of the creek and back. Today, it is raining, which is also pleasant.
Bonus Shot
This is a fish ladder about 1 1/2 miles down the road from our house that is on a side stream of the river. It leads up to a tunnel under the road.

I have always loved Indian Summer days. They are the best. I can't figure it out: I hardly ever see snakes in the wild (which is fine with me), but you seem to always see them. Must be your cosmic energy.
