I’ve recently started to explore the nature trails and parks in my area, and have been thinking a better camera than my old one would be a good investment, as I also enjoy dabbling in some photography. It’s always nice to have a decent camera on hand when you run into some nice bit of scenery or co-operative wildlife, right? To that end, I decided to give myself an early Christmas present and bought a new 10MP camera. Here’s a photo taken with the new camera of a Ring Billed Gull (commonly called a seagull). It can be purchased on a mouse pad, mugs, greeting cards and more.

The other day I was looking through some of my photo cds and came across a photo I took in 2002. It’s a photo of a female Mallard that took the time to pose for me in the park near my residence. I’ve been wanting to add some photography to my gallery and I thought this would make a nice first photo to add.
Before there was some major renovation done at the park a few years ago, it was a popular nesting grounds for ducks, swans, geese and other birds. It wasn’t unusual to see the occasional egret or bald eagle in the area, as well. They’ve mostly moved elsewhere due to all of the chaos, but now that the work had been finished I’m hopeful that the birds will start to eventually return to their earlier numbers. Some individuals would allow regular visitors to get fairly close, as seen with this photo.
