Wildlife at Pawtuckaway Lake in Nottingham, NH
Kayaked at Pawtuckaway Lake this past weekend. Don't believe I've ever seen so much wildlife in one day. Highly recommend kayaking prior to the real start of boating season. Barely saw another boat until later in the day.
First animal spotted was the Common Loon. Far more impressive than pictures below indicate, it's a beautiful bird, but a bit shy. Did get a good view, however, when a large fish swam under my kayak. Moments later the Loon had a good sized fish in its mouth not far away.
The bird that seemed somewhat unconcerned with the kayak was the Blue Heron. The Blue Heron fished along the edge of the lake, snapping up some small creature, rinsing it off and eating it. The were numerous turtles sunning themselves. Most were not interested in hanging around to have their picture taken, but one stayed in his spot, as seen below.
Finally, I was paddling out of a small cove, took out my camera for a simple shot of the scenery, and a beaver hopped in the water right next to me. That is the second picture down. He slapped his tail and dove under water shortly after the picture was taken.

Outstanding Dr. Seuss Quotes
I meant what I said and I said what I meant.
Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!
Adults are obsolete children.
Why fit in when you were born to stand out?
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.
You're in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.
You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.
Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
