Robin and I made our first kayak trip of the season last week.  We had originally planned it for the week of scorching temps (109!!!) but had to reschedule - and the temps were in the low 80's, but very windy.  If we stopped paddling, we went backwards....

The lake was beautiful, and not very crowded - probably due to the wind.  The hillside are green, covering the burn scars from the Carr fire.

We found a family of ducks, and they followed us around for a while.  My guess is that other visitors have been feeding them - they got very nosy and very close to us.

Robin took a photo of me taking photos of the ducks...

So I took a photo of her, backlit!
