For those who follow me, both of you, I hope my lack of variety in my subject matter does not drive you away. Life has presented me with very few photo ops so I am revisiting some ducks pics I took with my now deceased PowerShot S3is. I have compared them with the ones I took this past weekend with my sister-in-law’s Nikon D40. I like both series of shots equally but I decide to show this one. It is an untouched photo shot at dusk taken with the PowerShot S3is. Enjoy my friends, both off you!

Exquisie! This is a stunning photograph. Many thanks.
John, If we compare what we have to work with with all the other blogs out there, it will make us very disatisfied with our lot. I went out today and walked the same path I’d walked for over a quarter century. What little detail could I find that was different so I could write about it? Not much, I can tell you. Still, I took three shots and ended up with two haiga from them. Turns out they are not what I had wished to see, nor were my photographic skills any better. It was just what it was. Today was just a normal every day day. This last day of August, under the Red Full Moon glowing in so many imaginations around the world…. was just ordinary. It held that sad ache that the human heart carried around all the time. I would never be able to photogrqaph a duck as lovely as this photo is in a million years. But what I came home with was more than a photo it was a state of being o.k. with the world… thankful for the rocks dry in the waterless brook on the way. The jewelweed pods have not puppped just yet.
This is a great photograph. Any idea what kind of duck it is? Probably a female?
You are correct that it is a female.It is a female Mallard and though not as “flashy” as the male they are in their own right a very beautiful water fowl.
Thanks for stopping and commenting.
Nice! I would never get bored of ducky images!
Thanks!
Tranquility in motion.
They are indeed.
