About that duck in the middle photo: It's not a duck; it's a fake swan put there to keep flocks of geese away. There are 4 of these "birds", all currently frozen in place. Do they keep the geese away? No. The geese simply avoid them.
Love the first picture, it looks more like a painting. Sorta T. Kincaid-ish, except much nicer. Patti Smith concert in the Rose City tomorrow night. Cheers- Sandman

That top shot--the gold, the blue--love it.
skating on thin ice -
taken as worrisome warning
solely - yet there's another
reading. When ice thins,there's
promise, re
generation, skating those
surfaces beauty
of speed & gesture triumph
as much as any startling
heron's nearly human
call ignites
quickening of slow spirit
That's all kinds of gorgeousness.
Thanks, Petrea. That first photo is a fav of mine, too.
Anon, thank you for your striking poem of promise and regeneration xxoo
And, thank you, Hiker. The light was wonderful that day; glad I had a camera with me.
All kinds of gorgeousness indeed, both from Ms.M's photography and Anon's poetry.
I do hope that poor duck in the middle photo has found a tiny patch of clear water and is not stuck in the ice. Brr.
Anon and I thank you, Dive. :-)

All photos are beautiful!
But the first photo is really gorgeous!
Beautiful, Mary. And if I ever have geese running amok in my garden, I'll know not to bother finding a faux swan in hopes of deterring them. ;)
Thank you, Sonia. I find the scene in the first photo relaxing and serene.
Hi Shell! You never know what useful information you'll find on a blog! Especially concerning geese ;-)
Thanks Ms M for your nice comment on my blog. I am glad you liked to see my daughter's dogs "hidden" under this big tree.
Hope you have a pleasant week ahead.

Sonia, I hope you have a wonderful week, too. :-)
Thank you, Mr. Sands. May the Land have horses, horses, horses running, running, running....
