Duck, Duck, Duck, Goose?

Well everyone, I have been looking and have not been able to find out exactly what kind of ducks these are. At least I think they are ducks, in my research I landed on a goose (I don't remember which one at the moment) that it might possibly be. So if someone knows and would tell me I would appreciate it. I have never seen birds like these up close before. I usually see the normal mallards and canadian geese in this spot, oh and of course I can't forget the seagulls. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

On Seagull's Wings

Well a couple of posts ago I said I would share images from my recent visit to Stepping Stone Falls. Well I haven't done that for the last week, so I decided that I should hold true to my promise. Here is a beautiful sky from that trip. And again I have captured seagull in flight. I like seeing these birds soaring around and floating as they hover over something that could be lunch. I know many think of them as a nuisance as they tend to frequent parking lots but for some unknown reason who knows why I can sit and watch them even in a parking lot.

Happy Fourth of July - Skywatch Friday

Since this Friday is the Fourth of July, I thought I would be a bit patriotic. These are from my recent visit to Stepping Stone Falls here in Flint, MI.

The Steps

Here is why they are called stepping stone falls. Obvious enough the concrete steps that the water flows over. This image was taken in the same spot as the previous image, I just shifted my view to the right. I truly love this area. It is a favorite of mine to photograph as well as use as a background for my senior portraits. I had plans to shoot some wedding shots here but the wedding was in April and the park doesn't open for the season until May. This was a real disappointment since the reception was just around the corner from this beautiful spot.

The Dam

This is one of the many attractions in the Flint area. Stepping Stone Falls is a man made dam where Mott Lake flows into the Flint River. It is a nice family place with nature trails both paved and unpaved, viewing on different levels and if you like you can bring food to feed the birds and fish. This is one of my peaceful places, however I don't come here often enough since it is across town from me now and gas prices being what they are. I will have more images from here over the next couple of days as well as a post about it on my other blog, Life with the Woods.

Lakeside Beauty

Well I think the image speaks for itself and I really don't have anything to say tonight. Hope all had a wonderful weekend; I know I did.
