Swans on the river Korana. Next to the river Korana is one of the most beautiful promenades in the whole city Karlovac where people walking, watching and feed swans. River Korana become a great place for swans. One large flock whole year stay on the river.
... found this cute couple there in the tall grass through a narrow opening revealing them there in Assateague. Like the reflection.
Captured looking straight down from a viewing platform, with the illusion the ducks are swimming amongst some clouds.
Ducks gather during a warmly colored sunset on a partially frozen lake.

The sun came out from behind the clouds just long enough for me to get this shot. Thankfully they were lined up pretty good. There were five of them, but the one was a little shy for a group pic. Peace Valley Park, New Britain Pa.
- I like this picture !!
- it was the first try on the theme 'White on white' for the challenge of Flickr group 'Macro Mondays'
- for the challenge however the result till now is not satisfying: some grey-white objects on a grey underground before a somehat whitish background (IMG_6813e)
- but a-as said- apart from that I like the picture !!
"Two little ducks went swimming one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother Duck went quack, quack, quack
But only one little duck came back"
She did go & find him though! Mallard ducklings in Regents Park.
These birds are really fun to watch and to photograph. They are a bit skittish, but that makes them seek out dark corners and circle around warily, which leads to neat poses and behaviours. The colours area challenges in almost any light. One of the other great things about them, that escapes photography, is the neat sounds they make, from the cries to the subtle buzzing - which the open-mouthed male here was doing as he circled behind the female.

There are 15 acres for you to explore in this historical setting, packed full of horticultural wonders. These range from ornamental gardens, water features and enchanted woodland walks.
The microclimate, from the gulf stream and the shelter belt from the hills behind, enable Milntown’s grounds to be filled with horticultural wonders all within a scenic landscape.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
I watched what I believe to be a Northern Harrier torment the ducks. No birds were harmed in the process. : )
Five little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the edge and weyheyhey!
