The Hillsborough River, Temple Terrace FL
My digital camera was carefully carried as I sat in the prow of the boat.
A bit later I visited the Hillsborough River in 2019, the year before my heart attack. But I traveled a lot in 2019, going to Colorado in the summer, twice to Florida, then Ohio that fall. And of course then there was the pandemic the next year also! I don't think I've ever had COVID. At least all the tests say not.

Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancellations during the 6 days they shut down Kimmel. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN. AMAZING!!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteGreat memories and beautiful photos of the river and you and your family. Take care, have a great week ahead.
Thanks...love remembering these moments and sharing with you.
DeleteYou have a good system for keep
ReplyDeleteIng track of your photos and memories.
Deletewhich is what blogs do for me...a few of them do keep track of what I was doing way back then.
Delete...any alligator sightings?
ReplyDeleteNot while in the canoe (thank goodness!) But there was a little guy on a log when I walked on a boardwalk over the river on the second occasion.
DeleteI've canoed down the Hillsborough River too. Beautiful and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThat's so great! It is indeed beautiful and peaceful, as long as the gators stay in their place.
DeleteI love seeing your redhead!! Such nice memories.
ReplyDeleteIt was particularly fun to cut it all off, having a flattop for a while as it grew out.
DeleteReading the news this morning has been a real downer. We will be attending a No Kings Day event locally. How can anyone in this country condone these Nazi tactics?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question.
DeleteVery cool red hairdo. My dad was a redhead.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone that I know of had red hair naturally in my family!
DeleteLovely photos. I've never tried a canoe; to be honest I'm not a fan of being on water - not a good swimmer. But I think I miss out on the peacefulness of the activity, just gliding along would feel nice.
ReplyDeleteIt is a easy going kind of trip, and I don't think the current was too bad for coming back up the river. Fortunately men in my family want to impress.
DeleteOh, I used to love those lazy Florida rivers!
ReplyDeleteThey do flow pretty slowly there.
DeleteSuch a beautiful, mysterious river, Barb. And young, all redheaded and happy! Fiun memories.
