A Good Day for Ducks

We've had a lot of rain this summer. Today was one of those rainy days. It was a good day for ducks. They love all this wet weather. I looked out my kitchen window to see a family of ducks coming down the road for a visit.



There are 14 of them. They have just barely reached adulthood. being born this spring.


They enjoyed picking in the wet grass.



After their bellies were full they rested at the end of my driveway and drank from the puddles.



After an enjoyable visit they walked out my driveway and up the road. I hope they visit again soon.

Sunday Drive

Here are photos from yesterday. It was a gorgeous Sunday, hot and sunny.

This is at Corkums Island. That's Highliner Foods Inc. in the background.

Also at Corkums Island.

Isn't the shoreline lovely?

There are lots of small craft in Mahone Bay harbour.

This mama deer was just outside Lunenburg. You can see her fawn coming to her in the lower right side of the photo. I used 24X zoom to capture this one.

And finally, a great blue heron wading in the ocean.
