LIFE'S A BEACH!
Comments
-
I'd like to tuck my beak under my wing and take a nice nap on the water (though it's too cold for that today (for me), here in Seattle.)
-
Happy Birthday Marlegal and many, many more!!!!!!
Meece and Lisa what great pics!
-
I'm also glad to know its not me with ipad issues.
Great to see you too Marlegal!!!!! Hope you had a wondermously great day!!!
Hope you all have a great night!!!! -
Thanks for the bday wishes. It was a really good one
Love the swan. Is there anything more graceful and elegant looking?
Heading to the campground this weekend so hopefully will get a good beach shot.
Barbe, I'm drooling over that lunch menu! -
Lisa, hopefully that gosling will grow into his beak!! What a honker!!!
-
actually it is a duck
-
oh good. thought I was going crazy...
-
Ahh, that's why it's beak is so big!! I've never seen a pure white duck before!!! Thought it was a swan, actually......
-
It's probably a Pekin Duck. I used to have a lot of them. It could also be the Aflac duck, after all he's recovering from a beak injury!
-
Here come his
buddies..
-
Didn't even think of Peking Duck!! We just don't have them flying around here, that's all. That HAS to be the Aflac duck...hehehehehhee.
-
Barb, If it is a PekinG duck he's in more trouble than we thought! (Peking duck is the "national dish" of China, Pekin duck is a breed of duck used for meat and eggs.)
-
Thanks!!! I did NOT know that!! Gee, what you don't learn on a breast cancer discussion board!!!! hehehehehhehehehehee
(I knew Peking duck was a dish, but I thought they just used Peking ducks!!)
-
I thought they were the same as well. That is until I started raising poultry.
-
We have lots of these white ducks in the ponds around here
-
We also have a resident goose at the nearby little lake
-
a white heron
least bittern
a blue heron
a bl
ue heron
and a snowy egret
to name a few..very active little lake..
-
Hahaha, that white goose looks like he has post-chemo feathers. That's quite a 'do'.
-
Coonie! Good to see you, this one's for you.
-
Loving those pics Lisa. Very odd day here...a few clouds, a few storms, some sun...you name it! No bay shots tonight but tomorrow is supposed to be gorgeous so hoping for some good sunset pics. Stay tuned
-
Great googa mooga!!!!! I was enjoying the pics of the beautiful white ducks and I LOVE the Aflac duck:). Then I started thinking about good ole # 32. Lololol and there she is. Of course she would look better with Sharon at the wheel.....LOLOL. Thanks Lovey! I needed to see that "duck". Lol
Marlegal sure hope your weekend has turned out to be picture perfect. Clouds make some nice pics too:)
>Hope you all have a wondermously brilllll Sunday!!!! -
That is the MESSIEST goose I have ever seen!!! (very pretty, though) Of course I'm used to Canadian Geese which are polite and neat. And our swans are well-groomed, too.
-
Barbe, I think the little lake or big pond is on the migratory path..we get Canadian geese
white pelicans too..
-
Oh, I can't forget this one
-
Barbe, yes, Canadian Geese are nice and neat, but they sure don't pick up their poop. A couple of local beaches have hired hyper dogs to run around and keep them off.
-
My dog would pick up the poop.
-
-
Here on the golf course they hire the dogs and also use "bombs" to scare the geese away from nesting too close to the actual course. The bombs sound stupidly crazy, a mix between a bear alarm and fireworks. Scares the shit out of the golfers!!! hehehehehehehe My DH is a Marshall on the course we live on and he sees the reactions every year. They really should warm the golfers that day that the bombs will be going off!!!! It's not to hurt the geese, just to drive them further into the rough and out of bounds so they don't get harassed by (or harass!!) the golfers when they're breeding. You don't want to piss off a goose!

What an absolutely perfect day here at Hideaway Beach. One of those days where I just said over and over to myself how lucky/blessed I am to have this little piece of heaven available to me so many weekends a year. Sharing two shots ... one during the day when we had a snowy egret and a white heron fishing together (different color beaks, that's how we knew it wasn't just a big and a little of the same bird!), and then a sunset pic. We came home in between and had dinner! Yup...today is definitely one of those "thank you God" days in my world. Hope it was for many of you too.

And here's sunset
