Pics from today's trip to Gilbert Riparian duck feeding adventure. Taken with my cell phone so not the sharpest pics.

A few more from today. Last one is a doves attempt to photobomb the duck in front.... LOL.

Since we're on a bird kick (lol), here's one I captured last month as well!

Thank you - that's exactly what it turned out to be! A juvenile double-crested cormorant and not at all typical where the photo was taken, as it turns out. I just thought it was a unique looking bird that I'd never seen in my area.

A couple of new ones to share.

We had a spring snow storm in WI, which entails 3-4 hours of rain before the snow starts. Took the dogs for a walk by the river the next morning.

A few days later, the blood moon eclipse.. (taken with Seestar s50)

Would you mind also telling us what camera/ lens or phone you used to capture the photo posted? Thank you!

The winter scene was just my Motorola razer 2024. The Moon was my ZWO Seestar S50 smart scope. It's not the sharpest as it's a still image from a time lapse on a cloudy night. Here is a better example of the moon with the Seestar

Did you take these photos from a submarine?



Both are low angle, seems like a couple of feet above the water line.

We have some snowbird Canadian Geese here in Phoenix in a nearby pond that are raising some babies.

Here is another pair that was being harassed by the parents of the above babies.

I love watching Canada geese, especially when they fly over low and you can hear the wings. They are beautiful. I just can't stand how they can trash sidewalks. When they come into our neighborhood, I bring out my dog. They don't care about people, but they respect dogs.

Yeah, I had a w*rk buddy who moved into a really nice new apartment complex that had beautiful open spaces with large ponds. The Canada geese came in and took over the ponds. They made a mess on the sidewalks and wouldn't let people close to the ponds. They can be quite vicious!

But I agree that they are an amazing force of nature. One day, DW and I were driving at first light. We saw thousands of Canada geese leaving a lake area. It was fascinating to see them struggle for altitude as they formed into traditional V formation. Lovely!

Everything’s better with bluebonnets on it…

Went today and checked up on the baby geese. They were out on the little pond with Mom or Dad keeping a close eye on them.

At our last house the small back yard opened up to a nice pond. Used to enjoy the ducks and ducklings. Unfortunately the bass liked them too. And then there were none.

Here's a recent one from a zoo trip! We decided to take a weekend and get a couple hours out of town and found a few interesting shots at the zoo while we were out.

A few from the much-ballyhooed Italy-Paris trip.
