Finally got out on the kayak Sunday. Promptly burned the crap out of myself. Apparenty, sunscreen isn't effective when its still in the bottle Wow, that was dumb...

On the upside, it was an interesting paddle. A swan, a bit in front of me, does the flap-run across the water, flies up into the air, circles around me, and lands near where it took off. Weird.

There was also this little insect, I have no idea what it was but it was long and very narrow, black, with turquoise patterns on its body, and with two turquoise bands around its tail. They almost looked like tape. It just sat on my thumb joint for the longest time... just hanging out, I suppose...
