Canoeing the cannon

It was a gorgeous morning in Minnesota and I spent it canoeing on the Cannon River with my friend Bruce. For four hours we paddled on excellent water and saw dozens of bald eagles, kildeers, a pair of geese with their goslings, and a host of other birds out enjoying the day. It is amazing that so close to a major metropolitan area we can get away and enjoy the silence and beauty of a place like the Cannon River. Lucky.
