Hello, My Name is "Grace"

For being somewhat of an athletic person, one would think said athletic person should move with ease and with grace. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! As if. I am about as graceful as a Goose doing a rendition of Swan Lake! I swear God should have given me 2 left feet instead of a right and a left. At least this way I would have some sort of excuse when I tripped or stumble for no apparent reason.

Today is a prime example. Went out for a walk by my little pond just north of the house, to try my hand at my new little toy...Canon 55-250mm lens!! OMG! I am in heaven! LOVE IT! So, back to the story at hand, as I was walking along, noticed something diving in and out of the water that was alot bigger than a muskrat, so me in my infinite wisdom investigated what this creature was. As I crept closer to the shore of the pond, I noticed it was in fact a beaver!! And he was coming in my direction!!! Eeeee!!! So excited that I got myself in position for the "perfect photo". As I readied, he ambled his large framed body up on the shore, and just as he was about to nibble on the tree, and I to get the "perfect photo" fell. That critter took one look at me and bolted. I don't blame him I would too! Lol!!

Darn it. But the little bugger didn't get the best of me. Ha ha! I followed the water loving critter til he came ashore again and managed to get him having a bath.

DAY 28 - Clearly Canadian



Photo was shot in Portait mode, ISO 200. Cropped photo to enhance the critter.


DAY 29 - Mama Duck, shot in Portrait mode, ISO 200, Cropped photo and added a soft focus to deter the distraction of the tall weeds.



Happy Thursday!!
