by the lake – Daffodil Hill Photography

I was out at the lake today taking in the rays and the sights. With the temps being in the mid-forties and the sun shinning folks turned out to enjoy the day. As I walked around I observed this goose swimming close to the shore line. As it came ashore to search for bits of food left by us hairless apes I took this shot. I am just now trying to learn the different types of geese that populate the lake. I have not been able to identify this one yet but she’s a beauty. Those orange ringed grey-steel eyes and vibrant bill and feet set of the rather understated white with a splash of grey and brown feathers.

Grounded

The weather is even making the ducks lethargic. That and the fact lake is frozen over makes it makes more sense to stay tucked in and warm.

I Got Nothing

I tried to come up with a title for this post but I got nothing……..unlike the picture. Enjoy!

A Few At The Lake

The Bride and I made use of the sunshine today by going on a walkabout. I got to test drive my new-to-me Sony A300 and enjoy great company. The lake was not overly crowed because it is still somewhat chilly out but we did have a few feathered friends stop by. Also had a few non-fauna photo ops as well. I tested drove a few of the manual settings as well as auto-pilot. I tried the on board B&W as well. So here are a few at the lake.
