The wind was up a little as I put my boat in the water at Jenner around noon. I paddled across the river to Penny Island and headed on up the river.
I passed by this great white egret fishing along the shoreline.
I continued on up the river slowly, along here.
Geese can sure make a lot of noise
Some geese were honking across the river from me.
I paddled up to this spot I call Eagle’s Landing and went ashore.
Walked down river on this trail
I walked down river along here going only a short ways.
A nice spot to take it easy
Then returned to this spot where the boat was and sat down and watched things and enjoyed the day.
Eventually, I put my boat back in the water and headed down the river along here.
Big redwood stumps make good wind breaks
I stopped behind this big redwood stump to get out of the wind which wasn’t has bad as when I put in earlier.
I went by the fishing egret again. It was fishing and seemed to be catching some tiny little fish.
I thought about paddling on down to the river’s mouth, but just felt too lazy, so I headed on in to the boat ramp for the day.
Drove on down to the overlook
Instead of going home, I drove down to the overlook at the river’s mouth which looked like this looking south, the river on the left and the ocean on the right. That’s Goat Rock down there, just above center.
The river’s mouth is open and the sun was on it’s way down, looking out the mouth and into the ocean.
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
