First time kayaking 2012

While kayaking on Salt Marsh Pond, we came across this old canoe with an eye painted on it.  We also saw a wood duck, great blue heron, canada goose, mallards, and some painted turtles sunning on a log.

It was a beautiful day and it was great to get back out on the water in a kayak.. such peace.

Working with macro settings again and light.. Love these crocus with the light shinging through and the yellow stamen..taken in my friends' beautiful garden.

Happy Easter

My friend and her daughter put together this deliciously, creative salad..as part of Easter Dinner.   How could you not enjoy a salad as fresh looking as this;

Wonderful dinner followed by a beautiful evening sky;

Turkey Vultures are baaack

I know this sounds strange, but I love to see Turkey Vultures soaring through the sky.  I think they are beautiful, with their large wing span, floating, dipping, and circling on air currents.  And they do provide an environmental service by consuming dead things that other birds would not touch.  Their digestive system takes care of toxic stuff.  And see for yourself.. arent their wings, outstretched wonderful?  I caught these turkey vultures circling over Lakeport end of Opeche Lake during the late afternoon, and with the late afternoon soft, glowing, light enhancing the wings.

Fishing

On Sunday, I took this shot near the Lakeport dam. 

 

I've decided to stop doing Project 365.  It is challenging and I have enjoyed participating in it.  Another time I may try to participate in it again.  Thank you all for viewing my blog and hope you will continue to although I will be posting less often.

Wood duck at Paugus Bay

Day 90;

A great morning for taking pictures.  I was so surprised to see a wood duck swimming around near the dam end of Paugus Bay.  I saw the silhouette of the wood duck first, started taking pictures and as the morning light warmed up, I could see the distinct markings on this duck.
