My little adventure kayaking on Coden Bayou in southern Alabama.

My adventure begins.

Here is where I began. It was a short distance from my parents home. I have traveled along this bayou many times as a child, and as an adult. But this is the first time that I had done it in a kayak. This photo below is the first turn in the bayou.

As I was looking at the marsh grass, I noticed periwinkles everywhere. Here are a few photos I took.

The clouds in the sky were beautiful that day.

There were beautiful trees that lined the bayou. I took some photos in color and black and white.

I absolutely loved the ones covered in moss.

I came upon a bridge that I could never pass under in a regular boat. I had never been beyond this point in my life.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous going under it. Would there be bats and spiders?

No, but i did find these nest all under the bridge. The birds were going crazy! I'm sure they're not used to guest.

I found what appeared to be a swimming hole.

I thought I had gone as far as I could go.

I was able to get around the fallen tree, and saw this nest of baby spiders as I passed through the narrow way.

This is where my journey was coming to an end. I hope you enjoyed going with me! As the sun was going down, I captured this last photo just before returning to my parents home.
