with a very light dusting of my texture

While I waited for my eagle to fly back from the treetop he had landed in, I noticed that the lilies are reaching for the top of the water. This is one of the first to have made it up.

Seen in an unnamed pond in Acadia National Park. Mount Desert Island, Maine.

Fledgling green heron floating on a lilypad in the lake. Each time he climbed onto a lilypad it began to sink, and he moved to another one, which also began to sink. Eventually he gave up and swam to the nearby nest tree. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

This is a photo of the reflection of autumn trees on a pond with floating lily pads. I love the painterly Monet impressionism quality of this image.

One day old grebette. Or as I like to call them zebra chicks. It was hopping like a frog over lilypads to keep up with mom. Sometimes standing up on the tips of its wings and legs. You'll only see this on the first day as they turn into expert divers and swimmers after that. This chick was only about two inches long, maybe less. The camera always makes babies look bigger than what they are. It has been a joy to see them grow and prosper from a distance.

Hello All!

From my early Summer 2019 Archives:

This is a young Wood Duck that was scampering around on the lily pads. The only reason I spotted the fledgling was that I noticed a woman looking at the lily pads and smiling, so I scoured the scene to see what she was smiling about.

Eventually mom called from across the pond, presumably to give the poor duckling some directions. The young one made it safely to the other side then swam away with mom and the other ducklings. A happy ending, thank goodness!

Thanks you so much for taking the time to view and comment on this image. I appreciate hearing from you very much! Have a lovely day!
