 This is my first photo for 2009. It was very cold and still this morning, and mist was rising from the river. I grabbed this shot with my little Canon G9 P&S then promptly headed to a nearby restaurant for coffee and a light breakfast :-) Gene |

Perfect lighting.
Perfect colour.
And with that bird at the top of the picture stretching and rousing itself from sleep, perfect mood.

Since I think I have licked my problem of being unable to post photos. And since this thread is about mallards. And since this duck has been waiting so patiently. Herewith my mallard. Pentax K100D. Tamron Adaptall 80 to 210 mm lens. Lots of wasted pictures.  Mickey |

After I spent a lot of time taking duck pictures he eventually grew tired of me. Not having any hands, this was his way of giving me the finger.  Mickey |

Mickey: Guess he told you to 'QUACK OFF!"  Nice shots, by the way. Roy |

Good shootin' Mickey!
That one in the second shot does seem to have some attitude :-)

Thanks folks.
Yes, that duck perpetrated a terribly gauche canard.
