...or near it.

Like some fellow FMers, I've been working with the fall colors over the last week. As of yesterday, with strong, sustained wind and rain, I think these tones will be largely gone. It was fun while it lasted...

Thanks folks. Much to my surprise, as of yesterday, much of the yellow and green foliage is still in-place (reds are largely gone). However, it's been raining this morning and we're predicted to get ample amounts for the next few days.

For those who still have the fall colors, enjoy 'em while you can! I look forward to seeing your pictures.

Nice set of images. The reflection of color on the water in #1 is fantastic.

Thanks Ted, Greg and Don! I appreciate you looking and your comments.

Our fall colors were really intense this year. I think it was related to the drought we experienced through the growing season concentrating sugars in the leaves.

I'm really sorry to be losing the wonderful colors as we move toward winter...

Great job with these Kim! Love the splash of water on the females back after landing. TFS!

Thank you Karl! I'm not one to shoot in city parks much but this one has a spot where the river narrows and I can see the ducks coming from a ways off. Combined with good light and fall colors, (and 7D II) I had lots working in my favor...

Excellent series, Kim. I especially like your in-flight captures.
Where were these taken?

Thanks Birdie. It was a toss-up for me whether to try to get these or landscapes since this fall was so colorful. The ducks won out most days but I do have a couple / few landscapes I'm working on too.

Beautiful set Kim!
It's on my bucket list to get a mallard in flight I think they are such pretty birds.
Nice work!

Thank you BB! For now, the mallards are my only ducks at this location. They were downright cooperative though so I can't complain.
