Dover, Delaware

I pulled into the Target entrance to go buy breakfast supplies for my Valentine, and there were birds EVERYWHERE – there was a whole row of trees that looked just like the one in the first photo. The trees with the most birds were bare, but there were others nearby that were full of berries.

Ted Harvey Wildlife Area, Dover, Delaware

This is a paddle I’ve been meaning to take for a while now – launched from the North Boat Ramp at Ted Harvey, followed the canal east to within a couple hundred yards of the Delaware Bay, then north to Kitts Hummock, then west again to the THWA Pond, around the edges of it, and then back to the boat ramp. It’s about 3.5 miles, total, and I had the whole place to myself. The air was full of frolicking monarchs and dragonflies nearly as long as my hand. Aside from the occasional disgruntled Great Blue Heron, the only noise I noticed for almost two hours was the “shhhhhhhhh” of the underwater vegetation on my hull and the dipping of my paddles. :)
