I found a couple of ducks hanging out at the neighborhood pond. They were a bit nervous about my presence at first and fled to the far side of the pond. Eventually I convinced the ducks that I was harmless and I caught this shot of a late afternoon swim. I think she was still keeping an eye on me.

As afternoon turns to evening, the birds of our neighborhood stop by to get one more snack from the bird feeder. Most of the birds saw me with the camera and quickly flew away. This little guy must have either thought I looked harmless enough or was just so hungry that he decided to take his chances.

I set out today with a plan to take pictures of some of the birds that frequent my yard just before sunset each evening. Of course not one bird cooperated with me. The cardinals saw me and flew away before I could snap a photo, the robins that had been coming the last few days were no where to be found. The one or two birds I was able to capture were so far off in the distance they just did really make the photo worthwhile.
So here we are with another picture of flowers. These pansies are in a box hanging on my deck, at least they could not fly away!
