Mark Baird splits his time between the lakes and rivers of Central Florida and the waters around Washington, D.C. A retired part-time professional photographer, he often brings a camera along when paddling. He shot this image of his wife, Mercedes, on the C&O Canal north of D.C. “If we are looking to try some new equipment or avoid bad weather it is our first choice to paddle,” Baird says, “although sometimes we just paddle it for the beauty.”
Location: Washington, D.C.
