I added several photos to my Misc. photos gallery, including:

My new car:

And a photo of the spring’s first kayaking trip:

That particular shot shows this very short stretch of rapids that I actually could not make it past on a tributary of the Royal River in Yarmouth. The water speed was not the issue, it was the submerged rocks and the fact that the water was only about 6-8 inches deep, leaving me unable to get a bite with my paddle. I must have tried getting up past this about 20-25 times using various approaches, all to no avail.

There’s also a pic of Nick, who came for a visit a couple of weeks ago, during which we went on a long bike ride over hill, dale, and treacherous swamp:

It’s not the best pic of Nick, but it was the only one I got so it will have to suffice. We followed a power line trail off of a road I bike along often. I was pretty sure I knew where the trail would come out (and I was) but what I wasn’t sure about was if there would be marshland along the trail similar to the trails that are near my house. There was, a lot of it. Nick and I spent about 1-2 miles of the bike ride hauling our bikes from hummock to hummock in the marsh. Still in all it was fun.

There are a few more pics to be had on the 5th page of the misc. photos gallery for each of the above subjects.
