For those of you who have been following me on Steemit, you may know that I broke my collarbone about 5 weeks ago. Itβs been a still 5 weeks, as I had to let my collarbone rest. This weekend, I was feeling pretty good, and I decided to go paddle boarding.
My friend Krysty (sheβs getting on Steemit this week, just waiting for her approval) and I woke up early to get the most of the day! We decided to paddle board down the American River. First, she had to set up our boards and screw in the fins.
It was so peaceful in the morning. The river was really calm, and the sky was completely clear⦠it looked like I was gliding over glass that reflected the sky.
We paddled for a little bit and then decided to take naps on our boards! It felt so good to soak up the sun.
On our way back down the river, something magical happened. I spotted a seal swimming! I had no idea that seals swam in the American River. I felt so lucky to have had the opportunity to be in his presence. I assumed he must have swam all the way from San Diego, but Krysty thinks that he probably came from the bay area, which makes way more sense. LOL.
Yesterday was a great day, and I had so much fun being in nature soaking up the sun with amazing company.
What do you like to do outside for fun?
Wow there is no better sunshine than you ladies ...your smiles are awesome
Lamo! πππ
No need for Lamo! πππ I meant it!!!! you are my sunshine...Β΄just see your smiles and lovely big teeth
I love it!!!! extend my greetings to your friend.
LOL! you're gifs are always so scary! HAHAHHA. I'm awake now. Thank you.
nice post, thx for sharing!
thanks for stopping by.
Hope you're recovering well, Karen. And keep up the wanderlust!
I personally love travelling to sunny places and making some paradise-looking travel videos to inspire fellow travellers!
thank you! :)
You are so daring; you need to let your collarbone heal first. Krysty should take more care of you (just kidding!). Hope you had fun out there and thanks for sharing.
hahah! I'm feeling good! :) Krysty is an amazing friend, so happy to have her in my life :)
this is wat called living life to the fullest
Nice to hear, we need her in Steemit a.s.a.p;)
will let her know! :)
I love SUP!!! It's one of my fave things about summer. Thanks for sharing your joy.
aww I love summer too! :) Well it's a bit hot in Sacramento, but still water activities!
Wow you had a great time! @karensuestudios Interesting Post keep steeming upvoted and followed
thank you!
Thanks for sharing..very nice
thank you
nice
Take me with you
That looks wonderful! Are you sure it wasn't an otter? Either way what a nice experience.
nope it was a seal! unless the otter was a giant! LOL
I would have been surprised to see a seal in the river haha!! Looks like it was a fun day out.
I saw him twice too! one when I was going up river and once when I was going down!
Stand-up Paddling can be so hard :) Did you ever fall in the water?
In the outside I like to play soccer or hike to mountain lakes and swim in them - as you probably may have already noticed from my posts ;)
hehehe :) I have an austrian friend that lives in the mountains too! Land locked! :)
It's not too hard, I have pretty good balance as I do acroyoga. Thanks for stopping by!
Is he on steemit? :)
Probably your board was wider than mine (lets just pretend so :P)
no he's not! I met him when I was in Australia... been a while since I chatted with him! :)
HAHAH :)
You met an Austrian in Australia - guess that may have confused some other people - When I was in the US I always got asked about the kangaroos in Austra(l)ia :D
HAHHAHA! I know right... I hardly can read a map! It's a miracle!
Nature is one of the universe's greatest healers!
Thanks for sharing such excellent pictures about your adventure!
For outdoors fun, I walk my toy poodle several times daily, and play golf on weekends.
AWWW that's so cute! :) Love it
Thx for this nice post again.. nice to see you have fun. I hope krysty will also enjoys steemit, and for sure you learn her all the nice features.. keep steeming
She is... just waiting for her to get approved! I can't wait.
Great post. I've never tried stand up paddle boarding. Not sure I'm coordinated enough. Looks like it was a fun and relaxing day. I tend to stay on dry land for my nature experiences. I just posted an article on some hiking and touring on the Isle of Skye. If you're interested, I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

You should totally try it out. It's so fun.
I am so sorry to hear about your injury. Be sure to give it time to heal, however, I know you like having fun. Good for you!
aww no worries! Its been fun... I've been binge watching Game of Thrones and Korean Dramas.
I see, I never got into Thrones, but my wife is addicted to it.What Korean Drama are you talking about?
I think it's called She was pretty!
just found it, and it looks interesting, and made for a weekend when it is raining, etc, maybe even on the cruise, thank you for letting me know about it
HAHAH I warn you.. super cheezy! but I love it!
It is far outside the mold, but it will help me learn Koran, which I am attempting right now.
What a great time you had!!!
thank you.
very interesting post, thnaks for sharring
Lindas, muito bom, fotos excelentes
Beautiful, very good, great photos
Spending you time outside, whatever you are doing , being in nature, is food for the soul.
Even now, typing this, I am outside, on my balcony, overlooking jungle, ten yards away ,and listening to a hundred different birds, and nature in all it its glory.
I spend as much of my day, as possible, outdoors.
OOo I wish I had a balcony to sit on. I agree. I love to hammock and read.
Balconies in hot weather environments, are a must !
Unfortunately the balcony wouldn't accommodate a hammock and 'other stuff'
Maybe time to change house for a different balcony 1....
LOL I know right? Hammock life is amazing!
@karensuestudios you are brave adter a collar bone break and you are already on a paddle board.
@rogerblu
hahah thank you! :)
I remember when I broke my collar bone, probably one of the most painful experiences in my life. I just started inline skating a couple of months ago, so that's my favorite thing now @karensuestudios. :)
OhHh what is inline skating? I've never heard of that!
It's rollerblading. I have these crazy skates that has 3 big wheals on each skate.
OOOOO dang! I don't think I've seen that. How fun!
I like to spend my time with my girlfriend and that makes me happy
aww that's a good way to spend your time!
Yes, yes
Very cool @karensuestudios
Looks like fun. Hope your collarbone heal well and you are at 150% again. :)
thank you! :)
