Along with those reflection shots I posted the other day, I also got some more photos while wandering in the Duck Ponds park. Here's a scene you've seen before, Middle Spring Creek running through the park. You've seen it in Autumn and in the Winter; here's what it looks like now:
There were several Baltimore Orioles singing to each other back and forth over the north pond. Here are two shots of the one who was right in the tree overhead, singing away.
And that's all there is for now. There were lots of other birds around singing their hearts out, but they were camera shy. Still, that Oriole was definitely the most colorful of the lot!
Before I go, just a brief note: I just posted an article on Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" on the Just A Song blog, including Whitney Houston's version as well. You are cordially invited to go visit!
