Wild oats with morning dew,

Ready for harvest.

Also know as Wood Oats and Inland Sea Oats. I always snap a shot or two when I see some growing along the trails.

Along the Dune tops on the Outer Banks. Thanks for the look and have a great Sunday.

i've visited curry's electricals. of the three possible freestanding electric cookers non were in stock and no delivery date could be given. with the way things are the cooker remains on hold for the forseeable future. let's just say it's the least of any of the current problems. it's almost rude on my part to even think of it as a problem more something to look forward to ...

Picked on my walk with Liz the day before, these wild oats were growing at the edge of a field of wheat.

I thought of laying them flat on the lightpad, but that didn't work, as they only hang down properly with gravity. The stems kept bending, making a repair with a sewing pin essential on one, but the pin could be removed in Photoshop! The leaf on the left-hand stem was grafted on with the pin as well!

Added a Matt Kloskowski free texture for the colours, and one of my own for the grassy texture.

With over 10 million Mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) residing in North America alone, the Mallards are one of the best-known and most recognizable ducks. the mallard is a dabbling duck found throughout the temperate and sub-tropical areas around the world. The most abundant and wide-ranging duck on earth. The mallard usually inhabits the freshwaters of North America, Europe, Asia, New Zealand and Australia. Mallards usually feed on plants, such as grass seeds, leaves, stems and aquatic plants, and vegetation like grains, rice, oats and corn. However, they are also seen feeding on insects, mollusks, small fish, tadpoles, freshwater snails, fish eggs, frogs and crustaceans. This Mallard Duckling comes in for a close-up at White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas.

I am in a such a uncreative phase that it is hard to pick camera these days. Hope I regain this soon, as I still have to take 365 pics and clicking something everyday is becoming a struggle, so I am looking at my earlier pics to be more creative and bringing them back on.

Top of the Dunes at Sunrise. Thanks for the visit and have a large weekend.

I like to use large aperture to soften background, though it can mean that very little else is actually in focus. f/4 is preferred, f/2.8 too narrow, f/8 background becomes distracting.
