BANG!!
Dinner is served...

Water is great, Mary, but I really love the olive greens of the tree's leaves, and the grasses. It is a sweet pastoral scene.

[P.S. Couldn't shoot to save myself, and dont even possess a firearm]

Ooops...forgot to mention the blanket spread out on the grass.

Perhaps you disturbed two young folks, moved to passion by the loveliness of the scene...and they have run off, clothing askew, to cover their shyness.

It's a dilemna, I know...if you cough loudly as you approach, to let them know you are nearby, then you risk scaring off the pretty ducks...
Mary MacADNski: I think that's an old board stuck in the grass. Probably flew off a truck or something. Your imagination has come up with something much more fun though. I guess you weren't thinking of the temperature though. I think their clothes may have been needed to cover their shyness as well as preventing goosebumps being larger than other body parts.
The family out for a stroll.
Mary MacADNski: It was not the nicest day out there - they would have better staying in bed.
Another delightful shot, Mary. It is no wonder you are inspired by nature - you seem to be surrounded by it on a grand scale. (:o)
Mary MacADNski: It is a beautiful , wonderful place with a new delight around every corner.
Sure I should like walk with you in a so beautiful path ! smile
Mary MacADNski: Did you visit the new site?

Why would ray think you are not a young folk yourself?

You just keep on impressing me with this beautiful place where you live.

Great composition and scenery.
Mary MacADNski: Maybe he can hear my creaky bones.

It is a beautiful place, Louis. I moved here 31 years ago and knew it was my home for life.

Beautiful capture Mary. Thank you for the 2 links for wood ducks. I got into both tonight the photos on the second one are just amazing. It would be worth doing the workshop to produce shot like that.
Mary MacADNski: I think so too. Number one, you need a big lens. LOL

Such beauty Mary, so tranquil and homely.smile
Mary MacADNski: Soon the leaves and the ducks will have flown away. In the meantime an opportunity for nice views like this.

Birds, water, and yellowish-green leaves..what more could one ask for? The leaves on the trees look as if they were dabbled on with a paintbrush..that is so lovely.

LOL at you and Ray!

What a lovely, tranquil spot on God's earth, Mary. It has such an idyllic feel to it.
Mary MacADNski: Ray is such a card. All that insect procreation has turned his mind or are all men preoccupied thusly?
This is a lovely gentle scene Mary. Very cheering on what is a grey November day here.
Mary MacADNski: Two grey days in a row for both of us. They can be nice though. This was shot on a cold, grey day last week and today's hike in cloudy conditions at three degrees was awesome.

Perfect spot for fishing !
Mary MacADNski: It is very nice there. It is the upriver side. On the opposite side of the bridge that I am standing on is a marina. From there out through Cardigan Bay and to the bigger waters of the strait.
Very nice composition. Calm and resting place
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Richard. It's a busier spot in summer but for now very calm.

LOL at you, Ray and your answer to Ginnie, but Mary this is a very nice capture, the silence and the serenity shows
Mary MacADNski: Ray is always silly and I am sometimes and Ginnie picks up on it all. This is a great place to hang out.

Thanks for liking the photo.

Lovely scene, makes me want to sit and stare smile
Mary MacADNski: I could watch ducks for hours.
Otro rincón encantador con el aliciente de esos patos en el centro de la escena!

Another charming corner with the incentive of those ducks in the center of the scene!
Mary MacADNski: I always love the duck scenes.

Amo siempre las escenas del pato.
