Nature Walks – Another New Duck

I am meeting more and more new types of ducks all the time, and I love it. Sometimes I have to do a double take, and then when I come back home and edit my pictures, I am so excited, because there is yet another new friend I just met. This time, my new duck and new friends were a pair of Blue-Winged Teals. So not only did I get to see one new duck, but he brought his mate along with him, and I got to meet them both. They are a very handsome couple, don’t you think? 🙂

Life is full of surprises. You just never know what you’re going to see.

Great photos Jeanne! I have seen those ducks here too, but not very often. Have never gotten a photo of one yet.😊😺🌞

  Thank you. I think we get a lot of your same ducks and geese here too. This is the first time I’ve seen them.

    Yes, we do share a lot of the same species! I would love to get a close shot like these, they are a beautiful duck.

    That does help, I really should do that too. I miss a lot of pictures because I can’t get close enough.

    I have a Canon Power Shot with a 50x zoom. I had another camera for awhile, but I sent it back. I didn’t care for it at all. It was great for portraits, but not so good for my nature shots that I really love to do.

    I have been looking at that camera, plus a couple of others, trying to figure out which one would be best.
