activities. I am thrilled that I have been able
to witness this quiet moment between them.
Then I realize just how extremely lucky I
have been to get up within inches of the two,
and then excitement takes over and I can
barely contain myself. I look into the blazing
blue sky and say a silent thank you to the
Creator above.
What luck!! Picture perfect poses,
perfect morning light, perfect wind in my
face and perfect WATER MUSIC. Music
that can never again be duplicated..Water
Music, a different song every time. I begin
my paddle back up to the landing, taking in
all of the beautiful nature which surrounds
me. I have a friend waiting to help me out
of my kayak and I begin shouting to her, all
of the excitement of my paddle, before I even
get close to her. The morning has been so
perfect and then I make more water music.
I drop my camera into the lake, a new note.
Quick reflexes grab it before it sinks into the
darkness below. My camera is ruined but,
ah, the digital card really is waterproof and I
am still in awe of my morning paddle.
As we drag my kayak up out of the
water, my beautiful morning ends with the
new sounds of Water Music.
