Kayaking on the Nashua River – Herons, herons everywhere
I took my son Nick out for a couple of hours on the Nashua River last night. I also brought along my new Pentax Optio W60 waterproof 10 megapixel camera to try out. It replaces my Optio W30 that I’ve had for over a year. But this trip was more about paddling on a beautiful September evening than photography!
Here’s me heading out:
And a quick shot of Nick checking something out on shore:
Last week when we kayaked on the Squannacook River, we saw lots of beavers. Last night we saw (and heard) quite a few Great Blue Herons. Since the W60 also takes video, I recorded this clip of Nick trying to sneak up on a resting heron. You can hear him squawk as he flies away.
