Of Ducks and Swans....
Winter is a great time to get close up looks at many of our more common ducks and swans and some of the less common ones, too...
like these gadwalls...
These swans and mallards are much friendlier...
in fact they hurried right over--probably hoping for a handout...
as they got closer, however, they ran into an obstacle...
There was a thin sheen of ice at the edge of the pond and you can see the swan above checking it out--great reflections, too!
I had a lot of fun photographing the various combinations of birds and reflections...
the one above is probably my favorite--it has such an abstract quality about it.
but then there's the simplicity in this one above and the one below....
and just think, when I got there this is all I expected...
What a beautiful day it's been today--I hope you got to get outside for some of it!

the shadow photos are just gorgeous. as is your header with the owl on the sand. by the way Sandy Neck is also one of my favorite beaches, esp in the off season when you dont have to pay or whatever it is that blocks me out.
