Quiet Paddling

When I was slept out early this morning I opted to get out on the water to enjoy some very quiet paddling with my camera equipment at the ready. The effort was worthwhile as I moved almost silently on the water as the sun was rising. The only noises I heard, besides birds, were my paddle slicing through the water and the clicks of my camera. My time on the water was very nice.

Plenty of images were recorded with a sampling of them here.
