Featured your cute duck picture! On TrackIf you've ever noticed how hard it is to get back on track with something you began well, I totally empathize. The things we did for just a little while so we could come back renewed to a project that was exhausting but rewarding, leave us far away, and it takes so much energy to haul ourselves back to where we left off. We look for a track switch to seamlessly rejoin the old track, and it's not there. Instead, we realize with a jolt, we left the track because it had run out. We have to realign with the old track, then build a new one continuing on in our original destination! The spur for these thoughts, I suppose, was the combination of picking up around my apartment after months of only basic housework, and an article on model trains! Wherever you find yourself artistically, I hope this selection of great work will provide inspiration and motivation to whatever you need to keep on track, get back on it or, God willing, lay some new track! With love in Christ always, please enjoy the Have a blessed day! -Debra

We've got a small flock on our local lake in Bramhall - I shall endeavour to snatch a few snaps.

I drove almost 2 hours to see them, they are living wild on the south of Loch Lomond. Were definitely on my list of birds to see, wonderful creatures.

Beautiful capture of this trio Craig. The one in the center has such an expression in it's face. Maybe because the other two are males flirting with her

Thank you Lana! The female ones are pretty plain in comparison but were very beautiful in their own way. There were 5 males and 2 females so they will be doing all they can to impress the females in the lead up to breeding season. I guess thats why they are so spectacular to look at, the ones that display themselves best to the female are the ones that will get lucky. Will be 3 dissapointed males

I have to admit that you are very knowledgeable about many breeds of birds.ย

I am learning as I go on, photography is a good way as you notice what they are actually doing when you look at pics.

Wow these are all so beautiful. What a precious shot. I wonder if these two guys are getting any ideas

I'm sure they are not sure when they go into breeding season but will probably be fairly soon. There were 5 males and 2 females so it will be the ones that display themselves best to the female that get lucky! Sure the females must be weighing up their options haha
