It was an absolutely perfect 10 in the weather dept this weekend, and Jim and I took advantage of one of the few remaining summer weekends by going kayaking both Saturday and today. Yesterday we headed to Brattleboro, VT with our friends Lester and Lynnette. We shopped at the Farmer's Market (one of the best ever!), hit the VT Deli for lunch to go, then headed a short distance up Rt. 30 where we started paddling. We explored Retreat Meadows, the West River (where we saw lots of nudists---ewww!) and the CT River. We had a blast.
Today we explored someplace new..East Brimfield Lake in Sturbridge.
We had only been paddling a few minutes when we spotted this Great Blue Heron..Mikko was VERY interested!
We were quiet so not to disturb him (or her) but Mikko could not contain herself and barked!
They are such majestic birds!We headed home after paddling for a couple of hours, finding a hidden river that supposedly goes on for 8-10 miles...we made plans to return for a full day and explore more.
I don't know who liked the tunnels more...us or Mikko!
I think it was Mikko!

were you afraid she might jump out of the kayak when you saw the bird?
Yes! She almost jumped out when she some some Canadian Geese, too!
