It was raining as I left work, but no rain when I began paddling at 6:35.

This gator
Did not move as I approached. Despite a slap of the paddle, and a shout. If it were bigger, I might have turned back.
It finally submerged when I got within a few feet.

Turn back point. To bad I had spots on the lens.
Birds seen, not shown, include limpkin, anhinga, cardinal and a pair of barred owls. An otter, too.
I paddled past the launch for a few minutes, than came back, landing at8:08.
Stopped for pictures on the way out.
When I got home, a neighbor asked, "Do you canoe every day" "No, I kayak three times a week" After more chit chat, she asked if I was retired. I wish.

Not so sure I would take my inflatable out with the gators but it looks like a great trip.
Not to mention sharped toothed otters and skooching over partially submerged logs.
Great sunset photos. I need to get back to Blackwater.. or anywhere. My kayak has sadly been very lonely the past couple of weekends. When I'm in an adventure rut, I typically come to your site to get inspired.
Ohawk, if you are reading this, go outside, put the kayak on the car, and find some water.
