New Camera
















Since this is a new blog for me I will introduce myself. I am 38, I have a 17 y/o son, a 5 y/o daughter and I am a nurse. I am happiest when I am in or on the water. There are people I know that wish they lived elsewhere or love to go on vacation to exotic places. I am not those people. I live 5 minutes from the Wacissa River in Jefferson County Florida and I have no desire to be anywhere else. I spend every Friday, Sat and Sunday on the river regardless of the weather. If it rains we are prepared, if it's cold we are prepared, if it is hot and sunny then I am in heaven. If I am not here for a period of more than 4 days, WATCH OUT! I get mean.












Yesterday was the first day I had paddled in about a month. I have had two major surgeries in the past month, one of them an emergency. I am not supposed to be out but I can't explain the healing this river offers me.










I have a new camera that I am trying to learn how to use. I met two wonderful photographers and paddlers last year, Peggy and Abby. I aspire to take photos like theirs. Here are a few I took today. Enjoy!

Good show, Janice!!! Welcome to the blog world! I will happily add you to my blog roll and maybe send some folks your way. Love your photos and can't wait to see more. I may go to other rivers now and then but none are as good as the Wacissa. BTW, love the blog title--it's perfect! Keep posting!

Piney Woods Girl has nothing on you, Janice. Your photos are excellent and I've enjoyed reading your blog.
