Christmas Day 2014
It is becoming a tradition that I always take a picture of the geese. It was a relatively cold day. But the geese always makes it better.
Hanover Parkway Pond – 20141214
So the weather was turning colder. The colors shift to more muted tones only the birds brighten the color palette. The gulls were flying in and out. So much that one gull looked put almost saying to the gliding gull “watch where you’re landing. ”
The female merganser looks kind of punk.
The bright blues of the mallard contrast against the rocks.
And the puffed up mergansers swimming.
Winter is here and the Advent Season Begins – 20141207
So we arrive in the month of December many of the flocks congregate at Laurel Lake.

The Graylag Goose who seems to be the permanent resident is swimming to shore.
To have a snack…

Sometimes my friends tease me that I only shoot birds. I retort in a lion was at the ponds and lakes I shoot in and I capture it too. Of course, I would be in a safe place, but look … I found a wild creature …
It’s Mechanicus Brontosaurus. It’s mostly seen near roadways and eats asphalt.
But seriously, sometimes the little fellas are interesting.
Plus the turtles and the ducks
