I Bet You Can't Do This!

I was able to get out yesterday after work and head out to the ponds. The light was out all day, but with the looming consecutive days of rain approaching, the clouds took over upon my arrival. I was hoping to get that magical light and some more Teal shots. The sun played hide and seek behind the ugly gray clouds that seemed to widen and cover most of the sky. I waited and waited for the sun to break through the dark sky and at last it came through! I crawled my way onto the mudflat cautiously not to frighten the only Pintail duck pair feeding in front of me. I had only 15 minutes of light left and was so so fortunate!! It paid off in the end. I had negative thoughts beforehand thinking not only was I muddy, but I haven't got any shots to show for my patience. I was very happy with these frame fillers and grateful for that killer light! sidenote: some reason Flickr is not letting me group names together for thanking on my photos. I tried small bunches of names and it worked twice, but it continues to not work. Very frustrating!!
