My Walk Today - 07 September 2024 (Pic heavy)

[jeffashman]

For the first time in a very long time I really got to go out. The temps were nice, in the mid 80's, although it was very windy. I enjoyed the walk along the shore of Lewisville Lake, and even managed to get some shots. The scent in the air was wonderful, from the legumes and other greenery, and the smell of the lake. I'm really liking this Sony RX10M4.

8 Egret in a tree. I wanted to get the shot from a different angle, but the shore was very soft mud and I couldn't get into position, so this is what I was able to get. Shot through the middle of a shrubbery. Neep!

11 A tire embedded in the mud. I've poste an image of this same tire when the lake level was a lot lower. It is still there a couple of years later.

Well mate - you certainly were able to get out and enjoy your walk!
While we do not get Canada Geese here Downunder, we see the others regularly ... incl the odd tyre and shopping basket artistically propped in the shallows

It's not a basket. It's an artificial nest area. I've seen them all over Canada.

Btw Cool walk. Like the inclusion of the tires, adds character

 

[Digger...]

Those tires and gumboots are rare shots Mr, well done.

You out there for a few good hours yeah, you take a sandwich? If canadian geese lay golden eggses i want 1 pls...

Thanks! I have a shot of an old, upturned wicker chair that didn't make it into the set. Will have to add that in later.

Thanks! Some of them might be nest platforms, but most of the ones I've seen have been planted with reeds to help stabilize areas of the shoreline.

Thanks! Yes, my "I'll only be out for about an hour..." turned into three hours. No sandwiches. I have a better chance of winning Mega Millions than finding the nest with the golden eggs...

A very nice set ....

Thanks!

Thanks! And welcome back!

Nice ones.

Thanks!

Nice set

Thanks!
