Healing Waters

My daughter and I wanted to escape the crowds of the 4th of July holiday so we went kayaking on a channel in our lake. After a long stressful week it was just the relaxing, peaceful atmosphere we needed. She told me it was the most fun she'd had in weeks. We named this photo "Healing Waters" because of what that time in the kayak did for our mind and bodies.
