ducks and cattails

William (Bill) Armstrong has posted:

Along most of Wascana Creek there is underbrush that makes it difficult to get down close to the water level. I found a clear spot that enabled me to capture images of three Mallards hanging out by the opposite side of the Creek.

searching for breakfast 2

A pair of ducks that had paddled very close to my vantage point on a walkway beside Wascana Lake, apparently more interested in finding breakfast than my presence.

I was standing on a walkway that runs under a bridge when I began photographing this pair of ducks. They surprised me by paddling closer and closer, giving me several opportunities with my telephoto lens. In this image the morning light illuminated their profiles.

against the current

William (Bill) Armstrong has posted:

I tracked this pair of ducks on Wascana Creek for a considerable time. At this time they were paddling against the current, since the Creek is running high with the Spring melt, such as it is.

ducks with gull escort 2

It appeared that the pair of ducks had an escort of gulls as they traversed a section of open water on Wascana Creek.

on the shallows

William (Bill) Armstrong has posted:

On summer mornings at Wascana Lake waterfowl gather on the shallows to perform their early morning grooming. On this morning the water was calm, creating good reflections. A few white feathers floating on the surface indicate that the pelican had been busy grooming.

I resolved to take out my Minolta film camera this summer and use some of the rolls of film that have been in the freezer for years. This image is from a roll of slide film. Editing jpeg files is more difficult than RAW, so there is some vignetting, and the sunlight is blown out on the extreme left. Still, I think the image conveys a mood.

ducks and jogger 2

A view of a beach along the sort of Waskesiu Lake, with the waterfowl enjoying the cool and rainy weather. The rainy conditions had made all the foliage green.

ducks and higher education

William (Bill) Armstrong has posted:

The east end of Wascana Lake is more like a marsh, providing habitat for waterfowl and all manner of critters. The ducks moved away from the shore as I walked toward it. The building in the background is the Regina campus of Saskatchewan Polytechnic.

The east end of Wascana Lake is more like a marsh. Although there are apartments, and educational institution and the Trans-Canada Highway nearby, this area provides habitat for a lot of wildlife. This image was taken on a peaceful morning after the ice has left.

ducks on the Creek

William (Bill) Armstrong has posted:

During an early morning ramble around Wascana Park and the Creek of the same name, I saw this pair of ducks on the Creek. The last bits of ice can be seen on the water and by the edge of the creek.

William (Bill) Armstrong has posted:

These ducks were resting beside Wascana Lake, near a footpath that follows the shoreline. The ducks are habituated to humans walking or jogging by them, just a few feet away.

Parlement of Foules

William (Bill) Armstrong has posted:

Watching these waterfowl - ducks, gulls and pelicans - congregating together on a shallow spot on Wascana Lake reminded me of the poem Parlement of Foules by Geoffrey Chaucer. They seemed content to hang out together on a warm afternoon.
