a walk with my (very) fine feathered friends

since it wasn't 90+ degrees last evening (and i had a good bit of old bread) - i went around the corner to visit the ever-so fine neighbourhood duck brigade.



on my way to the waterfront, i stopped by the house next door which has a beautiful crepe myrtle tree, almost in full bloom. these trees are abundant here, when the wind blows its like a magical snow storm of pink and white petals.


feeding frenzy in progress!





a few notable characters...mrs. quackers as i call her (the white duck) - her partner in crime happens to be the wee little mallard seen in the rear (with his rear to the camera!) even in the bird world, opposites attract =)



canna lilies border the waterfront down the river and to the lake, oh so pretty!
