Destination: Rattlesnake Bayou and Rabbit Creek
Distance: 12 Miles (round trip).
Time Pedaling: 3 hours
Weather: Sunny. Temp 60 degrees. Winds 10-20 mph mostly out of the west. Tide dropping. Minimal current. Waves less than 1 foot. Water temp about 77 degrees.
(1) Above left: Anywhere near open water the winds were steady with occasional gusts but much less than the gale force winds the forecast had called for. (2) Above right: In more protected waters, the wind was barely noticeable. The water was warmer than the air so if the hands got cold, a quick dip into the water warmed them up.
(3) Above left: A tri-colored heron stands on a lichen cover limb in a tree full of Spanish moss. (4) Above right: An osprey eagle soars aloft in the winds.
(5) Above left: Seagulls on the water and in the air. (6) Above right: A brown pelican takes off after an unsuccessful dive into the water for food.
(7) Above left: Awakened by a kayaker with a camera, the duck stretches it's body to get the blood flowing so it can move. (8) Above right: This was an interesting wooden canoe modified into a sailboat.
(9) Above: Header Image I think is a photo of the head of a Tri-colored Heron.
