6/25/11 KAYAKS AND GARDENS

KAYAKS AT GARDEN VIEW 

A GARDEN OF KAYAKS

ORANGE HAWKWEED
6/25/11: Saturday, 8:30 AM.  64 degrees, wind W, calm.  The sky is partly overcast and the atmosphere is hazy, but the barometer is up and it will be a nice day.
    We have kayakers as guests in Garden View, and their four kayaks are very  colorful, matching the flowers of the garden. It will be a fine weekend for kayaking,.
    Orange Hawkweed, Hieracium aurantiacum, is a composite flower with a rosette of basal leaves,  and is very common in lawns and other grassy spots in our region.  It is quite pretty but also somewhat weedy.  It was naturalized from Europe with early settlement.
    I’ve started to catch up with lawn mowing and such but it will take a few days to do so after our week of rain.

  1. Wow! Those are colorful kayaks! I have a all blue kayak that isn't blended in color like those beauties. Makes me feel boring. Kayaking is a serious sport. I just cruise the coast about two or three times a year. I like a out the coast allows if something happens. I can't imagine a channel crossing when the weather changes and you spill out. The death recently is very sad.
