Our First Challenge: Autumn

Autumn finds our pond filled with beautiful Mallard ducks and bright autumn color all around. (Looks best full screen.)

And a song to go along:

Gorgeous shot, Karen! You live in such a beautiful place! You aced your first shot for the SSC group - I'll bet it was like shooting ducks in a barrel.

Lol, it actually was. :D Thanks, Kenny.

It is pretty here, but we have to put up with a lot of rain too. I read a book where the author described living in the Pacific N.W. as "being married to a beautiful woman that was sick all the time." That sounds about right, but when the sun comes out you forget all about the rain. :)

A magical Autumn photo. Gorgeous colours and reflections. I like the video and the music :-) I'm not too sure if I will put this track on my Christmas 'wish-list' though :-) Thank you for posting to 'Sight and Sound', Karen.
