Description Irondequoit Bay was glassy smooth, a good day for beginner paddler (and others) to venture out. We had four paddlers in five boats--I had son Rob in tow behind me. For me, at least, the highlight of the evening was watching the bright yellow glow of the sunset.

Just for the record, this was taken from my kayak with a Kodak single-use waterproof camera. I discovered that if you bungie the camera to the deck face down you don't have to keep cleaning the water off the lens.

Thanks.Β  Hard to think it was almost nine years ago that I took that photograph on a Kodak single-use camera.

And now I live even closer to the bay than I did then.Β  I need to get out on it more often, though I think I shall let it thaw first.Β

Thanks, Christine.
This one was a gift. I had hoped it would come out "ok" so when I got the prints back I was very happy.
Another that almost didn't get posted but has done very well is Veterans Bridge 3 - Nov 2005

Thanks. It was a perfectly gorgeous evening -- and calm enough that I was towing son Rob behind me in another kayak (considerably less tipsy than mine),

Yes, these are always amazing - you know they're going to be great when you take them, you're glad when you look at them for the first time and every time you dig them up again, they put a smile on your face ^^
