Wow, gorgeous colors on the male! Really nice photo. I see something looking like a small wave coming?
Where did you take this, John? We are having a winter draught right now...rain and snow are very rare for this winter and we're having 69s and low 70s lately. Really good for going out though I am delaying it until I heal properly from my hands operation. Your duckies doesn't mind the cold and they are pretty. At first I thought the bunch of snow on the background is a bunch of clouds until I saw the whole image. The female one looks sad there is not much real water...
So lovely; i can't even imagine that cold
Something seems unreal:
I can see the harsh shadow of the top duck's beak but no shadow of the two ducks on the ice
I read someone commented before...put your head in the freezer to feel how we feel in our winter.
Some spellings and fingers do not go together well -- draught for drought. Sorry John. But to add here, in Missouri, last night we have 65°F but the heat of our day here was 77°F -- Summer! We were watering our front yard heavily...
Hi John The birds look very nice on the ice but do you think the image needs that frozen wave ? If the image was mine I would crop it out as it distracts a bit.
You have caught the colours of the ducks beautifully!
Not where we live here...in the next county two blocks or so away they have that. I have been living here for nearly 35 years and we have two cars outside in the driveway and we have not had that big hail storms. We are quite lucky so far...when there is weather disaster, it will have to be a bit away from us out somewhere else.
Nice shot, John. As a fellow WNY'r, I'd leave then wave in. Looks like it could be on the river up in front Of Mississippi Mudd's or in front of the GM plant - somewhere where you've got river wash.
You've got to wonder what the ducks are thinking. Air temp 50's, but ice underfoot. Odd, for sure. Thanks for sharing.
