I returned from a photo assignment out west — photographing two white water rafting trips on the Yampa and Green Rivers in Colorado and Utah for O.A.R.S. — and opened an email asking for stock photos for an upcoming article to be published in Upper Valley Life. Since I had been out of email range for most of two weeks, I was very late in replying. Photos had been temporarily selected and put in a rough layout. But there was still time to submit some stock photos in the next day or two.
The article was on serene water kayaking and featured a number of sites around the Upper Valley. I had lots of photos for one of them but felt the stock images I had of the other ones were not as good as I liked. Since it was a nice afternoon, I decided to take a loop ride and spend a few hours hitting three of the kayak launch spots mentioned in the article.
The eight photos in the slide show below were used in the article. Three were from the afternoon drive — the pair kayaking, the kayak launching, and the river mouth with clouds.
