A LITTLE KAYAKING AT LAKE MEAD

Went for a nice hike in the morning then did some kayaking. The water was just great- flat without hardly a ripple. Even went out for "beer thirty" towards the middle of the lake and watched a few birds fly by and a few fish jump.  Again, not a ripple on the water.

A blue heron stretching after we woke it up from a nap.

Connie and Zeph have to play fetch the stick, but sometimes Zeph does not want to give the stick back after bringing it back from the water.

Some kind of mineral rock that formed a layer through the shoreline.

Connie hauling a few things up the hill from the beach to camp.

When we got back from our paddle, this dove/pigeon was walking around on the ground.  Of course Zeph was right on it.  It then flew up on the hood of the jeep.  Was not afraid of us in the least.  It finally flew off and we watched it land on a pickup by a 5th wheel a few hundred yards from us.
