Kayaking on Pleasant Lake | a 7 Image Story

Kayaking on Pleasant Lake | a 7 Image Story  Kayaking on Pleasant Lake is, well, pleasant.  It’s a relatively small lake without much big boat traffic.  Paddling along the shoreline on a relatively calm day makes for a nice serene break from the day’s challenges.  During the summer months, several species of water lilies are abundant along several areas of the shoreline.  They provide a hint of color and beauty while slowing paddling around them.  The water is generally clear enough to see the stems in the sandy lake bottom

The north side contains a large number of beaver dams woven together making a wildlife wetland.  Most days a kayak trip encounters some type of wild life and some days it uncovers numerous species.  Unfortunately, so far this year, some of my favorite wildlife species have eluded my camera; like the Loons and Bald Eagles.  Also, using a kayak enables a photog with patience and a telephoto lens to even capture dragonfly images.  When photographing wildlife, I try not to disturb the subject by using telephoto lenses to stay far enough away.  Remember, the 300mm lens on a Nikon 1 V3 with a 2.7 crop factor yields 810mm.  For another Pleasant Lake kayaking story, see Pleasant Lake Kayaking | a 7 Image Story.
