A day at the cottage.

These were taken at the family cottage 2 weeks ago. Really tough to leave there and come back home! :D

There were 3 families of Mallards up there. I was feeding them birdseed and had 22 of them at our dock at one point. :)

Their little wings are still developing.

I was laying over the edge of the end of the dock to get as close to the water as possible.

Just minutes before the Sun disappeared.

About 20 seconds before the Sun was gone.

Wow. I absolutely love number six, and five comes in as a close second. The lighting looks beautiful in the rest as well.

You mean no BIF shots? :scratch :D A very enjoyable set, Jody, with beautiful, moody images.:thumb

I can see why. Nice use of light in those shots.

I like picture #6,4 and 2. Number one looks like a overdone photoshop job (too much saturation)
