Pleasant Lake Kayaking 2023 | a 7 Image Story Pleasant Lake can be fairly quiet of boat traffic. With a calm wind and no boat traffic, the lake can get glassy smooth.
Into the Wilderness The kayak provides a unique platform to enter the wilderness without disturbing the wildlife. The winds were completely calm for much of the kayak excursion, which allowed for mirror like images. Mirror Image Color With a touch of color in the deep green reflection, this image exaggerates green meeting blue. To capture this image on such a glassy lake, the kayak must approach the subject head on so that the waves it makes are behind it. Tall Color Layers The color around the lake was quite diverse given it was probably a week or two before peak. Highs Lows The high trees are on solid ground. The low trees are on marsh land where the beavers have built numerous dams. Blue Jay in the Wild The Blue Jay stands out against any background. They seem to hang around a bird feeders in the winter. This image is the first time I’ve captured a decent image of one in the wild.
