p.1 #1 · Why did the Mallard cross the road?


This set is from Oakland Lake during our recent snow storm. I used relatively long exposures to create streaks of the snow.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

To duck the paparazzi? Heh... cute shots Morris. We have duck crossing signs around here where there are ponds on both sides of the road... people are pretty good about stopping. I'll get out and help a box or leatherback turtle now and then, but I've given up on snapping turtles... ill tempered ingrates!

Nice capture, Morris.
He probably crossed the road because he knows it will be impassible shortly.

on ducking the paparazzi Eric. It's great that you help the turtles. This is actually the trail around Oakland Lake. I used to like the park a lot more before they paved it as now it's full of people walking dogs and joggers.

Thank you Greg,

Well the snow is coming down hard right now so he and his friends will have the park to them selves today. That is a funny comment.
