What a beautiful day we had yesterday. The sun was out, the ducks and geese and swans were out- it was just heavenly- a bit more wind than I liked but one can't have everything! I thought I'd show you just a bit of what we were able to enjoy- and I hope you enjoy as well... one of those "wish you were here" moments. :-)
We saw bluewing teal and grebes...
...Swans- I need to see if I can figure out if they were trumpeter or tundra swans-
...Canada Geese...
More geese...
...bathing geese...
...after the baths... 
...swimming ducks...
...sleeping swans...
...a few of these type shots- don't ya just hate when that happens?!...
Not great, but have you ever tried to photograph a flying teal- they are FAST!!!
Some of my favorites- them little "turtle bumps" on a log...
This fellow was very exciting to see...
...and then there are always the good old mallards and woodies...
My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time together. What more could you ask of a day than this? Good company, beautiful day, relaxing moments, exciting views, wonderful times in nature. It was a bit of heaven...

I do love waterbirds- I spent a lot of my youth keeping very very quiet around lakes and rivers watching them. I do love Canada geese, such regal colouring.
We have black swans here, I'm sure yours trumpet just as loudly as ours do!
And yes are Teal lightening FAST - I love the whistle of their wings as they jet past.
Great shots,
Cheers,
Cindy
Carol, what a blessed photo reference trip! Thanks for taking us along with you.
