I launched from Fort Maitland Park at 8:30. Decided to paddle south across Lake Maitland to the Venetian Canal and Lake Oseola, instead of my usual northern trip to Lake Minnehaha. I saw fish, but no attack fish.
Didn't notice the sign when I took the above photo.
These cypress mark the Maitland-Winter Park border.

Into the canal.
Into Lake Osecola.
To the Albin Polasek Sculpture Gardens on the south shore. A lot of canal shots, but it sure is purdy.
Back to the city line.
One reason I usually paddle Lake Minnehaha these weekday mornings is it is one of the smaller lakes on the Winter Park chain. Which means I can stay closer to shore, where the birds are. I wasn't seeing a lot this morning. Across Lake Maitland, several great egrets roosted on Dog Island. To bad it was to far for a good photo. But, to my delight, the egrets, and more, flew to my side of the Lake.
In five minutes I made up for the earlier bird dearth.

I landed at 10:35, a two hour paddle. A nice day, other than a bleeping lazy bleeping guy fishing at the dock. To bleeping lazy to walk 40 frikkin yards. No, this nimrod has to park in between several no parking signs, right where I load my kayak. What a dick. Where are the cops when you need them?
