Bread Snapping Goose, originally uploaded by Pandora’s Box on flickr.

Winter Ducks, originally uploaded by Pandora’s Box on flickr. I’m still just stunned that we had so much snow despite the fact that it’s long gone. I wish I’d had more time to get out and take more pictures. Next time…I’ll make the space in my day for it! Those ducks looked cold but they [...]
