Say hello to my little friends . . . the joys of kayaking the Tay River in Perth, Ontario, Canada

Some of the biggest joys of kayaking are . . . little friends.

Some friends are very lazy. They just hitch a free ride. We all have friends like that sometimes . . . right?

Big friends seem small when they are so far away.

Friends come in all shapes and sizes. And all makes and models. Sometimes, there are lots of them!

Some with very important jobs to do.

Paddle buddies and wildflowers in the Tay marshes.

Locks, lockmasters, parking spaces, picnic tables and clean restrooms. If only they would build kayak friendly ramps for us at lock stations. Boat docks and cement walls are not your friends. They are harder to launch from. Be careful.

Say hello to my little friends. They are your friends too!
