Seneca Creek /Potomac 9-8-07 : On, myself, & Jenn went kayaking Saturday. We put in Riley's Lock and went up Seneca Creek until we couldn't pass. Then we went downstream & paddled on the Potomac. The water was surprisingly clear. We saw a heron eat a snake, a beaver running up a slope, bald eagles, and those ever lovable buzzards.

C & O Canal 7-8-07 : As you can tell the C&O is one of our fav rides. This time my camera died right out, and On's malfunctioned. It's now November and I just had time to go back and edit his pics. They are very nice now that I've "fixed" them. I am particularly fond of the ducks.

Riley's Lock to the Potomac 4-12-08 : We put in on Seneca Creek above Riley's Lock and paddled down stream to the Potomac. A wonderful day to paddle. Please take note of the multiple pictures of apparent white trash bags in one tree. Those are Snowy Egrets! I've never even seen one egret in a tree, much less three together...

Our first time on the Occoquan Water Trail May 11, 2008 : Our first trip on the Occoquan Water Trail. We put in at Fountainhead Regional. A very nice paddle and so close to our house. (My camera's time/date stamp malfunctioned so my photos appear first, instead of in order. Oona)

Old Rag Mountain May 17, 2008 : This is one long hike, my gps said 9.27 miles, including the walk in and out from the lower parking lot. Too bad we didn't shoot any pictures of the scrambles up through the cracks and boulders near the top. Neither of us could afford to risk our cameras while hanging from a rock. Oona's best friend Jess and her boyfriend Thomas came along. (I had to sort these by hand because of a camera mistake. They are grouped close, if not right on, by time taken. Oona)

Belmont Bay June 21, 2008 : Our first time in Belmont Bay, which is the lower end of the Occoquan Water Trail. We had a super good time. Neither of us got too sunburned or too wet. The GPS told us we'd paddled only 5.25 miles. But we saw so much in that short space! (This will be my last time in the Lola Lotus vest. We went to REI and bought a smaller Stolquist, with a cut out lower back and a cut-away upper chest. When you see the photos of me you'll know why it needed to be done. Oona)

Pohick Bay Park 7-19-08 : This was our first trip at Pohick Bay. We went later in the afternoon. Next time we'll be sure to put in at 8 am, or as early as the park open. My camera malfunctioned in its new bag, but I did get some shots of osprey nestlings, and osprey flying with a bald eagle.
