I really need to get over my current addiction with photographing ducks!

Those are great! The third one is superb!!! Really freezes the action in that shot.

Those are wood ducks. I was told it's very rare to see them in RI, but I got some pictures of the female, not the male. I wanted to find a male one, but I only got a baby male.

Those are gorgeous.

Cricket,

Love the pictures. I like the 4th one the best. I love the water on it's head.

No you don't have to get over your addiction. I think they are very peaceful to watch. The place where I used to take mine, it was at an abandoned house, is now being rebuilt and there is a fence around the yard so I can't go down and sit on the dock to see the ducks, swans and geese. I could sit for hours and watch them.

Where I go, is where I took those pictures of the fall foliage. There is one duck that has only one leg. He/she's cute. I think it's a female, but you never know. It doesn't look like yours.

Thanks Ellen! Yeah, there is just something about watching them that makes ya feel good about life. They don't have a worry in the world, and just enjoy life, one moment at a time.

Really good pictures you got there Cricket. You've mastered capturing the moment -I think.

Excellent photographs and nice detail! I really like the last one with the drops of water and everything.

ejingram · 05-18-2009, 04:36 PM

Here is the one of the duck with the one leg and the wood ducks.

oh wow!!! ducks are so great to watch and snap pics of.
I had a blast last year doing so

**ScriptMan** · 05-19-2009, 06:42 AM

Nice pics.

My favorite antic wasn't shown, when the dive for something and all you see is duck butt above the waterline. I have to smile everytime I see them do.

MayaLocke · 05-20-2009, 06:35 AM

I'm with komkom, I wish I were a duck. Love the action shots.

ejingram · 05-20-2009, 01:38 PM

All I did was sit for a while and watch them. Yes, I even talked to them as I fed them.

Ellen

PS, No I am not crazy.... Or maybe I am....

I went to the golf course that my hubby goes to today. I was on the seventh hole, to take pictures of the blue heron that flys around the pond on that hole and while I was waiting for it to show it's face, these two ducks came up out of the pond to see me. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything to give them. I felt so bad. They were cute. I took these pics of them. No, the heron didn't show up at all today.

I will get that heron someday.
