The requisite shadow photo.
We had so many nice walks at Wood Lake last summer. Evening and sunset walks are especially nice. And I'm always happy if I haven't forgotten my camera. I missed a just hatched snapping turtle scuttling beside a just hatched painted turtle last spring. Shoot. (I would if I could) And then there was the time we sat down right beside a baby swallow who was looking to the skies for his mom. He was right by our feet. No camera.
There were so many wildflowers, butterflies and bugs. But speaking of bugs, the breeze and the mosquitoes prevented me from taking more photos. Someday I'd like to get a better camera with a great macro lens for times like these. But for now I like the ease of a light weight automatic one.
This one turned out great even without a fancy lens.
A song sparrow (or female red winged black bird) has caught some dinner.
Mallards swimming in the sun.
A big bird headed somewhere...
Sunset. Another beautiful evening comes to an end. But since it is spring 2015 a new season of walks is just beginning. Thank goodness!

What a great place to go for a walk. Lovely photos!
Great photo capture of the bird with the insect in its beak and I love the last photo with the still water and the low light.
Wonderful! I especially love the little ducks all in a row. :-)
All these are great, but I love that last one. That path seems to go on forever, endless possibilities. :-)
That sunset looks amazing across the water.
That last shots is stunning and I love the cute ducklings.
I like the picture of the ducks all in a row. Lovely spring memories and planning for the new season ... Your ducks all in a row too!
I think the last one is my favorite but they are all beautiful! www.catchatwithcarenandcody.com
Just stunning photos! I also have missed so many great shots by not having my camera with me...and I also regret not having a camera with an awesome macro lens. But I love the camera I do have, and get the shots I can. Just have to to remember to ALWAYS bring it! :-) Yours were just wonderful today
Fabuluos photos. The first and the last are just stunning.
Also a cool looking red bug and darling ducklings.
