There were a couple structures at the Ladd S. Gordon Waterfowl Complex near a pond/marsh. One was a raised platform and this one was ground level almost in the water.
It had a stockade style fence.
Can you spot Kim and the end of her lens?

Happy Fence Friday!

It was a beautiful January day to check out this duck blind. I have been here numerous times and never noticed it so it is either new or I am not as observant as I thought I was.
I didn't notice ducks in the area but there were many pelicans and gulls in the area.

Abandoned Duck blind at the shoreline of the Fox River. They are supposed to take these down but nobody ever does.
We went exploring alongside the shoreline of the Fox River for the first time in a long time

An algae filled bayou in N. Louisiana. I love the Cypress tree lined water with the striking green algae. Notice the duck blind to the right and the duck decoys in front of it.
This small bayou has captured my interest in the last month. The green algae color contrasts with the rich background of the Cypress swamp. A duck blind is seen on the left.
Charlie wanted to say a big 'THANK YOU' to all the people who left such wonderful comments about her pictures yesterday. You all are the best!
Be glad you can't smell her breath......

Trying to remember how, why I used to set up a "duck blind" this time of the year. Here is a photo from 3 years ago using the blind...
This photo was taken from the Ocracoke to Cedar Island Ferry just after it left Ocracoke Island. It was so amazing to see these huge flocks of Redhead Ducks flying in to raft up for the night around the duck blinds!! The duck blinds were not being used at the time!! The evening was so cold and not a wave on the water which made for a wonderful sight to see!! Hope you like the image !!

This session started out with a visit to the northeast corner of Salt Pond A21 where I have been taking a series of photographs documenting that pond’s progress since its connection to the tides in 2006. After a few shots there and over Drawbridge, I moved on to Salt Pond A23.
Salt Pond A23 is a disused salt pond located just north of Station Island. The pond, which is not regularly connected to tidal flow, has a relatively high load of residual salt. I can always count on A23 to present the vibrant colors associated with high salinity. It is also a good pond for ground textures in its bottom and along its salt-encrusted shoreline. The pond gains water from precipitation during our rainy season and then dries out during our rainless summers. On this occasion, the brine in Salt Pond A23 was colorful indeed and once again I got a bit giddy with the hues and bottom texture. The high-salinity brine that fills this pond seems to resist the small surface ripples produced by wind. While the winds during this session were quite variable, ranging from 5 to 15 mph, the surface of A23 stayed mirror-like for much of the session producing some pleasant visual effects as the sunset.
I continued north after shooting A23 to take photographs of Salt Pond A22. This pond borders the Warm Springs Seasonal Wetland, an interesting landscape of hummocks and vernal pools that hosts endangered flora and aestivating salamanders. I find A22 intriguing because you can see vestigial mounds that I think were once hummocks lie those in Warm Springs. On the other hand, A22 also harbors manmade mounds built for duck hunters. These typically have two wooden barrel-like structures dug into the mound to hide the hunters during their pre-dawn quest. Also evident in the A22 photographs are the remnants of early 19th Century levees, small constructs that enclosed small ponds.

This duck blind was filled with lily pads. I found myself yearning to be up in that blind to capture the beauty within and around it.

There were several duck blinds on Lake Martin. Most were affixed to cypress trees. All were unique and in varied states.
This duck blind appeared to have seen its better days. Then again, it may come to life when duck season starts. The moss covered rails were glowing in the sunlight.
This duck blind stood in the middle of the lake with no trees nearby. The boat is hidden in the garage opening and hunters use the side area as a blind. I am thinking this is a great place for photography.

I often wonder if I'm here to take pictures, or if I'm here to fish. One distracts me from the other.
