Watery Wednesday 3
These photos were taken at the weekend a few minutes before the one I posted yesterday which you can see here and when the light was almost gone.
I was walking along the edge of the lake and hadn’t seen these ducks until they saw me and whoooooosh, away they went; so no time for fancy focusing. Posting just for fun as I thought the one on the right looked so funny walking/running on the water. The one on the left looks like he’s up and then….oooops not quite and down goes the foot as you can see in the 3rd photo 🙂
.
….and they made it…Up, Up and Away.

Some people say they love to take pictures of animals and birds, nature life… I can understand why… you’ll never really have 100% of control over it, like taking a picture of a tree by the sunset or something like this… It is nice! 🙂
Good point, Axel you are right about not having 100% control which makes it rather thrilling !
what a great series 🙂
Thank you MImo…more to come 😀
Startling birds is so much fun! Seagulls on the beach, pigeons in the city….once on a hike, we startled a wild turkey. The way it gobbled away and ran all flustered out from under a bush had me laughing for weeks! They loose their dignity so completely and shamelessly!
I didn’t know you had a cruel streak Scilla 😉
I don’t startle them on purpose! Actually, it’s a mutual startle and the laughter is a surprise reflex! (I’m a super-softie in my own mind, but some might disagree…like my kids.)
OH! I was just teasing Scilla… I read your blog and you are definitely a softie!
🙂
Aw sometimes they look so comically sweet when you capture them in movement.
They definitely are much more interesting when they are moving, Karen!
Any day is better once you’ve sniggered at a duck.
Thanks Hellen
you’re welcome Stuart…tee hee
They are having such fun… oblivious to your camera. 😉
