In Ljubljana we have two mayor rivers, Sava and Ljubljanica. Ljubljanica is perfect for kayaking from October till the end of May. During summer there are so many mosquitoes and biting horse flies, it is not pleasant to be around at all..but still if you don't have any other options for paddling and you want it, you may go with the flow in town--no insects there. 
Populus alba flowers snowing on the river, in the middle of May. 
Bistra feeds Ljubljanica. Her spring is in Technical musem Bistra, http://www.tms.si/ 
Another inflow,
Drobtinka. 
Goose couple every day on same place.
Yeeey I have a visitor, there were so many dragonflies .
First autumn paddling this year. So many colours, no bugs, but also not so many birds..which means no concert.
On the way back to town on a sunny day, the Alps offer really nice view, and the castle tower reminds you to wake up;)
Great post :)
