A Day on the Rio Grande! Big Bend NP, TX

We decided we wanted to canoe on the Rio Grande and so did a day canoe trip with Far Flung.  Had a good day, the afternoon being especially scenic!  Bonus, we got to see a common black hawk which are not so common in this part of the Americas and are not supposed to be here for another couple of weeks! Another lucky moment due to warm weather conditions!

watching our guides put the canoes in the water

then here we are getting our bearings and checking out our ride

off we go!

that is us in the middle

at our lunch stop I was able to get a better view of the river

afternoon scenery.....beautiful!!


a common black hawk.....a not so common sighting!!!  Yay!
