I have never seen so much duckweed in my life

So, on Friday, I noticed an ad for a small store in Cary in the newspaper.  The ad was for a sale on Danskos.  20% off!  So, I went and bought my brown clogs.  (If you look at the flickr pictures, you'll see some of Orion in the clog box.) 

Saturday, I went out to Merchants Millpond State Park with a friend.  We took his canoe, as we could really only take one boat, and the kayak holds one person.  (Note:  I am totally taking my kayak back out there.  Must find kayaking friends.)  The pond is cool, full of duckweed and lily pads.  You have to paddle around cypress and Tupelo gum trees growing in the water.  I did not see a water moccasin, even though I kind of wanted to.  I didn't bring my camera, because, well, canoes can be tippy (we didn't tip), but will the next time.   We saw many turtles (some brave, some not), several great blue herons (my favorite bird), and a red-shouldered hawk.  It's a long trip out there, and next time I'd like to camp.  Who's in?
