Ten Mile Paddle

My first long paddle on the Potomac. I am pooped and my biceps are bulging but I got some pretty decent photos.

Awwww....love the turtle! Thanks for sharing:)

What a cool tree! I hope to get on the water again soon, but the weekends haven't been cooperating.:(

I am wanting to enter a photo contest.
Which category would the tree fit in?
"Photos will be judged in six categories: birds, wildlife, insects, scenic, floral and outdoor recreation."

It's not scenic and it's not a flower but it is botanical. :confused:

I think it's scenic.

Looks like a beautiful paddle.

It was flat water fabulous.

I think Scenic would be like landscape?

Scenic sounds about right.

Trees = botany, right? I'd say botanical.

There is no botanical category , just floral (flora).

Although "Flora, fauna and other forms of life such as fungi are collectively referred to as biota. "
They should have called it biota :o
I'll have to look closer at the rules

Looks like a great paddle - I hope it was a shuttled one way paddle :)

Where'd you put in?

Rotate your torso and theoretically your biceps won't be bulging.

It was out and back, Cushwa Basin (Wmsport) to Dam 5 then back.

Theoretically being the operative word in that sentence.

that sounds like a story we need to hear.

Is there much of a current up there?

Maybe that will be in Zen's autobiography.

Not much to speak of. Not really hard to paddle against unless the wind kicks up.
The return trip was much faster, though.

There will be better stories than this one in my autobiography:eek:

Wow, great photos, and kudos on a long paddle. Love the turtle and the tree!
