Early morning and lighting was pretty nice..cloudy. Looking up river from the Canal

that spot out there is what is left of the dam,a zoom in of Gulls and Cormorants hanging around out there`



Couple of bugs and flowers along the way





Big River Carp sucking off the bottom in the Canal



Planes coming in for landing




Other side of the Canal from the bike path




Munching some clover




Birds looking for carpenter bees




Till my next walk...GOD Bless

Thats a great dose of nature in your wonderful shots, Chris. I always enjoy them.. How funny I watched part of the movie "Flight" with Denzel Washington last night. I recorded it so I can finish it tonight. Every now and then I believe I've seen a Cormorant in the areas I travel like New Mexico I think it is? I remember in like the 2nd grade we were learning about places in Asian and the teacher told us how the folks in Japan would fish with Cormorants. I was so fascinated by that information I remember.

Got out by 6:30 this morn,post pics later,now I'm taking Marsha(Wife) down the river up this neck of the woods.

I recall seeing how they use those birds to fish,they tie a string around their necks so they can't swallow the catch.

Super Pics as usual!!.......Those carp reminded me of when I was younger, I used to hunt those with a bow. Had a fish arrow on a piece of line, and a a reel attached to the bow. Didn't like eating them much but buried them in the garden for fertilizer.
