p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Down by the Lake


I worked my way down to the edge of the lake in a local county park and hoped to photograph the GBH's near their nests. The GBH's must have been busy incubating their eggs because they never came very close in the hour I spent there. I tried to make the best of the situation with these composites.

1. GBH

A couple Mallards swam by quite close to the camera

3. Male Mallard

Of course there were Canada Geese

My first shot of the day was of the flowers on the Hanging Tree. Folklore has it that Judas was hung in this tree and his blood turned the blossoms purple.

Enjoyed the GBH trio, #2 being my favorite. And loved the natural looking but unique water color under the mallards. Nice angle! It's rare to come back empty-handed after a visit to the lake even if you don't get exactly what you expected. Looks like you have some lovely shots.

Hi Paul,

You might want to check the white balance for the bird photos. There right on otherwise. My pick here is the last and it is quite a beauty

I chose the flash setting because the scene was neither sunny nor cloudy.--Paul
