October 29, 2007 IMG_3360b Duckling, Flapping His Wings Went back today to see if I could get a few more shots since I was cut short yesterday. Managed to get a few -- I'm not sure this particular one was my favorite, but I thought the water trails (from where his wings were flapping) were really cool. I'd like to say I planned that, but...
October 28, 2007 IMG_3124b Baby Ducks Soccer practice for the kids today, so I strolled around the park. I thought I might get a shot or two of the babies. I did manage a few, and probably would have gotten some better ones, but some kid ran up to them as fast as he could to try and grab one...needless to say, they left in a hurry. I guess there's always tomorrow... The rest of the ducks and geese were as entertaining as I've ever seen them. They were splashing, running, chasing each other--really cutting up. I got a few pics of them as well, but this pic drew a bunch of "awwwww's" from the family, so I went with it.
October 27, 2007 IMG_2675b Light at the End of the Boardwalk ***Based on suggestions, slightly altered version here: IMG_2675c Hiked briefly through Dismal Swamp (located in Big Hill Pond S.P.) today. A place I will definitely have to go back to. This picture was taken on the 0.8 mile boardwalk through the swamp. I thought it was neat how the sun was lighting up the exit of the boardwalk in this picture. Another hard choice today as I had some others that I really liked. Some fall leaves covering the boardwalk, and some starbursts from the direct sun -- Just a few can be found here.
