A simple summer afternoon on the pond as a cinnamon teal enjoys the summer sun with a muskrat. North Park, Colorado.
Happy to be back online and I am sure we all feel the same about vacations…they are too short.

I can take plenty of photos in a couple of weeks and being in Colorado does give plenty of weekend opportunities. Work is indeed calling.

Wow this is a great shot. The Depth of Field makes the duck in that background so subtle. Well down.

Thanks, hope your day is going well. I like that the DOF give the feeling of life just going on with all at ease and all creatures doing their own thing.

I love muskrats! We used to have a lot of them here. I haven’t seen one in 2 years. I was hoping a couple would find their way here this year with all the rain. The drought pretty much wiped them out. Beautiful shot!

Hi, I hope a couple of Muskrats do make it back into your area sometime soon. They are always fun to observe sliding into the water from the banks and swimming through the pond.

Yes, I can understand how a nature lover would feel weary of city life. Retirement, once you reach that goal, will be the answer to your longing! 🙂
