October Day on Elk River

Queen Shoals Gage Height = 4.31

I have never seen the Elk River as clear and blue as it was on October 26, 2008. The wind made the surface of the water a little choppy. The sunshine made it sparkle. It was a good day to be on the river.

This stretch of the Elk River, from Blue Creek to Mink Shoals, has plenty of wildlife. I often see Canada Geese, Mallard Ducks, and Great Blue Herons, as well as other waterfowl.

I took 60 photos that day. I will share some of them on future posts. I have to have something to post during December, January, and February. I do not anticipate being on the water much during those months.
