Duck, duck...goose?
London, ON, November 2011
I'm not particularly fond of this shot. I had just discovered this little spot by the river. It was one of those in-between moments where I had a bit of time to kill while waiting for the little man's choir practice to end. I lost track of time as I wandered the pathways nearby, and had begun putting my camera away after realizing I had wandered a little too far and would now have to double-time it back to pick him up on time.
Of course, that was precisely the moment the ducks chose to take off from the water and make a spectacle of themselves. I was completely out of position, completely unprepared and completely late. I grabbed my camera from the bag and wildly shot whatever I could until they disappeared around the bend.
I'll have to return to this idyllic spot sometime soon. Next time, I'll be ready for whatever the ducks have planned.

ReplyDeleteAnd I love your quackers!
For a spur of the moment picture, you got a great shot of those ducks in flight. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy "flash of color" pictures are here.
Thats a good shot...apt for the title
ReplyDeleteI thought for sure I'd find something in my backlist to fit this right away, but it actually took a bit of hunting. I guess I don't tend to make photographs with only a flash of colour.
ReplyDeletenice shot!

First thought was this post from earlier in the year; it’s certainly themed and it’s certainly a flash!
ReplyDeleteFlashes from around the world - don't get too excited.

Carmi, I think your ducks are very awesome and I'd be running home quickly with that catch! I could wait all day to take a photo that good and come up empty of ducks that nice! Here's my flash of color

ReplyDeletesome flashes of colour - though as they were taken in the rain, they're still rather muted....

Mine is up, and is almost as autumn-y as yours, Carmi!

A cold, dark morning brought a moment of insight, inspiration and a flash of color to this little corner of the world.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great shot, Carmi. Ducks in flight are difficult to "shoot" -- I tried for a shot like this last month.
ReplyDeleteThanks to yesterday's hike, I am joining in:
