Kayaked for two hours this morning, Thursday, October 29, 2010. I need to report bad news. The Jetson House has been torn down. There was a space age looking house on the point at the end of the bay on the west edge of Lake Maitland. Doesn't the City of Maitland have any standards? I should have known something was up when the big alligator statue disappeared a few months ago.

The usual birds on the way to the canal. Green heron, ibis, great egret.

Passed through Lake Nina, where a guy fished, back to the canal, under the covered bridge, shown in the opening photo, to Lake Minnehaha.
Did a counter clockwise circuit around the lake.
Just the birds and I.
Left Minnehaha, spent a little time in tiny Lake Nina, where the angler still sought fish, and returned to Lake Maitland.
Paddled to, and around, Dog Island.
I saw wood dicks, but was unable to get any photos before the flew away. These mallards were more cooperative.
No otters today. A relaxing, two hour paddle.
