Lame.....ducks


Lame.....ducks, originally uploaded by D. Glen Elrod Photography.

Winter has finally gotten, well, better. Its warmer (mid 30's) is a heat wave here so while I had two hours to kill while Candice was at a birthday party I decided to try my hand at duck photography. I manged to get to the spot, unload my gear, walk over to the spot I had predetermined and....watched all the ducks scatter! Not that I thought they would really be keen to me showing up in their area, but I figured with the constant noise of the road behind me, they would be used to some company.

Did I mention that this birthday party was schedule at the exact time the Iditarod restart was happening? Hopefully next year I'll make it.

I guess having to crop a duck photo while sitting in Alaska is better than fighting the French 'industrial action' my buddy James endured over the weekend.
