A Calm Sweet Morning Paddle

After a year of treating my breast cancer, we finally dipped our paddles in the water once again. We started small at little Lake Josephine in Roseville. The water was calm and morning was cool. We skipped breakfast so we could get in on the cool of the day. After a year, of not much exercise, I expected my arms to complain about paddling but I was able to handle a good half hour on the water without any issues. AS the slideshow below reveals, I love paddling under and around the trees that over hang the water or have fallen into it. I get to play peekaboo with Pete and the water and sky as I go under the leaves. It makes me feel like I'm floating through the tree which is a bit magical. A calm quiet morning paddle is always good for my soul. I look forward to more. I did not bring my camera as I used to do because my little pocket camera is no longer operational and i wasn't ready to take photos with my bigger camera in the kayak. So these photos were taken on my cell phone but they do give you a bit of an idea of my adventure and I wanted to share it with you.
