December, 2013
What can I say - it's been a fairly typical month. Gray skies, rain, fog and mist abound. I'm glad it wasn't colder. Still, it's hardly inspiring me to get out and take pictures in the poor light. I managed to push myself out of the door several times.

When I returned from Canada I was surprised to see that most of the Duck Pond was covered with ice.

Sheesh, it's slippery! Look at those two smarties over there. What are they doing?
 
     
   
     
Why, it's the Goose Step of course.
 
     
   
     
Haha, check out those Ducks doing the Duck Walk! The Goose Step rules!
 
     
   
     

'Forget the ice. Let's head for the Hot Tub...err I mean...water.' say the Green-winged Teals.
 

     
   
     

Hah, I'm sure it's warmer up here. Heat rises, you know.
 

     
   
     
No I will not turn around. I'm busy trying to dry my tailfeathers.
 
     
   
     
Peek-a-boo. I see you. ( A Golden Crowned Kinglet sat still for 3 seconds.)
 
     
   
     
*shiver* Hey lady. Got an extra blanket? A pair of Ear Muffs? An umbrella? A hot toddy?
 
     
   
     
One day there was actually a small sunbreak in the clouds.
 
     
   
     
Yes I'm a goose, you silly goose. I am a Lesser Snow Goose.
   
     
   
     
It's not easy keeping myself spotless in this Duck Pond - I can tell you that!
