Kayaking on the Concord River
This afternoon, my friend and I went kayaking on the Concord River in Concord, Massachusetts. In this area the river has a gentle current that makes it perfect for kayaking back and forth among the interesting sites. It was a gorgeous, cool, and sunny afternoon - beautiful for being out on the river.
There are a lot of beautiful stately homes that line the river, and while I didn't take any pictures of them today, here is one in the background. 
While my camera wouldn't shoot when I had a good shot, where the statue was framed nicely through the trees along the bank, I thought the lens flare was pretty cool until I realized that you can't even see French's Minute Man through the trees. Even so, it was nice to kayak by it and under the Old North Bridge.

And finally, there were some pretty bold Great Blue Herons today. Bold, not only because this one seemed unafraid of us as we approached, but also because he was making a meal of mercury-laden fish (as the warning signs posted along the river reported).
Yup. Just call me Marlin Perkins.

Yes, you will be subject to me blurting out such goofy expressions but I figure it's all part of a wicked good Boston experience.
Fiddler, we got so close that I was starting to get nervous. They're big birds.
