Shore Birds and Their Reflections ~ Swan Lake

Goodmorning everyone...well today I'm home sick and I was home yesterday as well. I'm not one to be couped up in my house for days on end.....unfortunately as much as parents look forward to having the children go back to school after the two month off for summer. Children have that extra special way of coming home and sharing their germs with the rest of the family. Kenton my oldest within being back to school came down with a lovely cold..you know the kind fever, chills, heavy cough, swollen glands, snotty nose...yep and as much as I disinfected the house guess who got it next. ME!! Love the way children share...hmmmm NOT. Hopefully I can head back to work tomorrow in the mean time fluids, fluids and more fluids. But for today I thought I would post these lovely shots I got at Swan Lake another of my favorite places to go. My focus was on the REFLECTION not the duck I wanted my bang for my shot than just the birds. Enjoy everyone....back to bed I go HIGH HO :)

On the Run!!

Well goodmorning everyone!!! Well I have to say that poor Victoria has been hit with constant rain since Sunday. So the opportunity to head out and go for my usual walks just hasn't happened. Plus working this week 11-1900 at the Hospital takes up large chunks of my life....I thought I would put some lovely duck shots up that I haven't had the time to post yet. I know my Weee shot of a duck on the run is blurry...but I love the light and the look on her face. She definitely didn't like the fact that I was taking her picture...desperately trying to get into the ocean where she feels safe. Her personal comfort zone. Got to appreciate that.

This shot was a stretch for my camera....you can tell it's not as crisp as I would like. But the refection and the beauty can still be appreciated....This is what you get if you don't has an SLR...but I'm still happy with my camera :) Any tips on how I could have gotten a better shot? Anyone?
