    Yukon River pics...

    Last Monday, a few friends and I went for a paddle on the Yukon River. They had a canoe and I was in my kayak. The stretch of river we did is a nice day trip--from downtown Whitehorse to the Takhini River Bridge.


    It was a perfect day for paddling!

    Going with the current is always fun! So much easier!!

    You can't see him very well, but there is a red fox on the top of the clay cliff. He was hysterical...digging like a maniac up there, probably hunting gophers!

    One of the nice things about paddling with other people for a change was I could get some pictures that included more than the tip of my boat!

    Approaching the bridge where we pulled out of the water. We had left my truck there earlier in the day for the trip home.

    You certainly have some magnificent scenery up there.

    How cold is the river water?

    What a wonderful life you have up there Tamara. It must be sheer joy to get out of the bed every morning and start a new adventure. It's such a nice way to enjoy one's life and get all you can out of it. Wonderful pictures!!

    Calgon, take me away to the Yukon!!

    Thanks Barry!

    Dang, I wish I could see that sort of scenery right in front of me and be able to smell the trees and listen to the water. Absolutely beautiful.

    Tamara,

    I just love your photos - the vistas are incredible and so serene. It must be wonderful for you to go kayaking not only to enjoy the world around you but to have the opportunity to clear your mind completely and put all into perspective. Hiking up the mountains and meadows in BC does that for me. It's the best therapy and it's completely natural!!

    What a wonderful way to wake up on Sunday morning .... thank you.

    Betty
