Thanks Sue. It was taken earlier in the year but does bring back some nice memories.

The duck is beautiful with that bright green head but that green grass is to die for! :D I want to see some of that here. We warmed up in the 40's yesterday for the first time in almost a month and now we have dirty, slushy gunk...and what is under it is not green by any means...more snow coming Tues. and then more on Thurs...I feel like we moved to the Arctic.

Mary I know how you feel. I heard that Alaska is a beautiful place and I now feel like I live there without the beauty, of course. Sorry I think where we live is just B O R I N G!

My feelings exactly! We have no beautiful scenery, no mountains, no waterfalls, nothing..just bland landscape. I'm so envious of the people that have such awesome surroundings to capture.

Trust me, that weekend it had rained quite heavy and the remainder of the grass was a muddy mess! The ducks didnt help either as they would dig their beaks into the mud hunting for worms I persume.

Mary and Sue -

Me three!! Last weekend we froze our ______ off and couldn't bear the thought of going outside unless we looked like Nanook of the North. Today I was out without a jacket.

Two weeks ago at photo club, a visiting photographer presented a slideshow of Alaska - very breathtaking!! One of the places on my list to see before I die - right now, I'm not dying until I'm 150.

People say the same thing about the desert. When we lived in Nevada, shutterbugs from around the world flocked to the desert. The locals (most of 'em) thought they were "a buncha nuts takin' pitchers of nuthin' but dust and sagebrush." They looked right past the obvious.

Very good point Gary. We often overlook what is on our doorsteps.

As much as I really hate to say this....I think you are probably right, Gary...:rolleyes:

In the spring of the year, when the trees are in their spring bonnets and the farm ground has been turned for planting, there is no more beautiful place. I love the fields when the corn and beans are just starting to peek their heads up out of the ground. And when the dogwoods are in full bloom, not only is it lovely but the scent is wonderful...and in the fall when the wheat is golden and the sky is blue, its breathtaking...its just this time of year that I fail to see the beauty...I keep looking but must have my blinders on..:cool:

I'm sure your photography will help you to see the beauty at this time of year. Shoot away and I'm sure you will be surprised.

I know for myself, since I started seriously shooting, I look at everything differently and wonder how I could get a good shot of my surroundings. I have always been an indoor winter person and now I find myself getting out more.
