urban wildlife

This month I rented a couple lenses (for fellow DSLR users who are interested: this and this) mainly for some big events. As some of you know, this month didn't exactly go as planned, but I've still gotten good use out of the equipment. Last week I spent some time with my camera in a local park and captured some urban wildlife. Those who live in more remote areas may laugh at my findings, but they're big news for us city folks.

What have you been photographing lately?

D is for Ducks

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

This week I'm bringing back ducks for the letter D. Enjoy.

When I was at Frame Park in Waukesha last month, I saw an abundance of ducks.

 

I also saw a few when I was at Doctors Park in the north Milwaukee suburbs earlier this month.

Sometimes when I'm photographing ducks, a few geese sneak into the photos, too. I took both of these pictures in Greenfield Park, the first in April and the second in May.

I skipped over D is for Ducks this time in favorite of another topic, which meant that I had to bring it back with Q is for Quack. Enjoy.

Is anyone surprised that I picked ducks for this week of the meme? Probably not. It isn't a complete vacation, photo excursion, walk through grounds with a pond, etc. without a duck spotting.
