Another GREAPER morning (long post)

[GREAPER]

I really wanted to go out and shoot (with my camera) some ducks today as I have the day off. I was pretty dissappointed with the heavy cloud cover and low light levels.

The day did start with a brief sunrise.

I did happen across this fellow (I haven't seen more than 2 of these my whole life and here I see two a week apart). He never broke out from this heavy grass he was in, so this is the best shot I got.

I did manage a decent shot of a Redhead Duck

And a nice morning indeed, very nice shots. I like the 1st (of course who wouldn't) and really like the last one, very peacful nice mute colors and the lone geese (not egret :D) set it off quite nicely :clap:thumb

The temps need to rise 20 degrees before I will start seein Egrets again, but praise from you means a lot.

Thanks Harry
