I was finally able to go for a paddle around Manzanita Bay and was amazed at the wildlife I encountered.

Bellies full, it was nap time.

My next encounter was this beautiful blue heron perched high in a tree.

Manzanita Bay is surrounded by beautiful homes.

These Canadian geese were enjoying Manzanita Bay.

And, I found some female mallards.

This fellow apparently decided that the only way to prevent birds from pooping on his yacht was to cover it with netting. I’d never seen this before, but his decks were clean, so I guess it’s working.

Nor, had I ever seen a drydock for a kayak before.

But, the thing that was really unique was this bicycle propelled kayak.
