Fall Weekend In Northern Virginia

Clare and I squeezed in a three-day weekend before she started her new job.  I built up enough hours in my two-week pay period to take Friday off w/o burning up any vacation and Clare was between jobs.  Due to the almost perfect fall weather, what I would have called the “Indian Summer,” we were able to kayak on Bull Run/Occoquan Reservoir on Friday afternoon and walk around Accotink Park counterclockwise on Saturday and clockwise on Sunday.  The days were mostly sunny lighting up the leaves emphasizing the wonderful colors of leaves in the fall.  I had my SLR out with us on the water but only my phone on the walks.  I got some decent pictures.  Clare is wonderfully patient with me as I slow our progress down with my picture-taking.

On the water in our kayaks.  The bald eagle was hanging out in the mud flats looking for food I guess.
