Just saw that reptile on your home page. You certainly have nerves of steel. Bumping against an alligator with a kayak? OMG! What were you thinking?!
Actully, I sit in the front of the kayak, and my husband sits in the back, (so I can take photos) and HE paddles while I shoot pix. Sometimes he gets me a little closer to a photo op than I had planned!! LOL
