…but the view was great!
We considered taking out the canoe on Saturday but opted out since the wind was whipping. Boats zipped along the Elizabeth River. We footed along the shore and watched the activity.
Hoot and hollers for good catches traveled the air waves.
Some boats whizzed by, occupants unseen.
Others made their way a bit more leisurely.
They all managed to kick up a few waves to lap upon the shore at our feet.
And Wylie…well, she was thrilled we didn’t take the canoe. She enjoyed swimming, rolling in the grass, and running along the bank.
A day with wind and water was enough to rejuvenate each of us.
Faaaaaaaabulous photos, Suzi!
That first one is GORGEOUS. What a view!
Looking at your photos reminded me of when I lived in Florida and my family had small speed boat which we could ski on. Oh….what fun!
Love the shot Wylie! What a cutie!
Thanks for sharing your day, my friend!

It was taken from the top of a landfill. The river is an industrial area but still so pretty.
What great memories of fun water times for you!
Canoe plus windy day sounds like a recipe for trouble. Glad discretion ruled.Lovely pictures, as usual.
Exactly, and Wylie could have “tipped” us in favor of the water.
Looks like a great day was had by all!
Oh nice! I think the view was way better than than some of those boats. Wylie is too cute.
But I’m sure those boats were lots of fun!
What beautiful scenery! I’m sure being near the water was a treat — Wylie’s face depicts that perfectly! It doesn’t look like Fall color has gotten to your part of the country yet, though.
It was a treat. Fall is just starting to creep up on us.
Proving one doesn’t need to get on or in the water to enjoy it – but most of the time that does provide the most fun!
I think you’re probably right!
Curses! You caught my boat, Occupants Unseen on film . . . now my top secret identity may be revealed to all!
Glad that Wylie enjoyed the day too!
Now, I know who that gorgeous speed boat belongs to…next time, I’ll beg a ride, lol!
“All Aboard!”
That looks like such a pretty place! I’m glad you all had fun (including Wylie!)
It really is pretty along the river.
That does look peaceful and relaxing. I don’t think I’d want to be in choppy water in a canoe, either!
I don’t think we’d have fared well in the canoe that day!
