Canoeing the Grand
8/17 '14
Today we canoed on the Grand- it turned out that the 2-hour 10km trip was just the perfect length for today (putting in just upstream from Victoria Street). We saw loons, and blue herons, a pair of eagles or hawks, an osprey, some kind of aquatic mammal that might have been an otter... it was serene and wonderful.
I am feeling grateful for this river, right here all this time under my nose and under my wheels. And I do look forward to developing a closer acquaintance.

I'd be very surprised if we saw a loon.
Oh man! This sort of thing always reminds me to visit Philly's own natural offerings.
oh hey there's a comment I forgot to go check for! oops I look like a slacker. Yeah - time reconnecting with nature is never a waste of time; I just have to keep reminding myself of that WHEN THERE'S SO MUCH INTERNET.
