Snowy Day Mallards

It's late, and sorta stopped Snowing, and the Sky might clear for the Winter Solstice Eclipse--I hop out and check the Sky--so a short post about a long day!...After Breakfast, gathered the gear, and Shuttled over to Siberia for errand (friend not well, and needed address for xmas card), and paddled up to Lady Andrews Rock, not on the Rock, behind it, where I sneak past the Gate to get Snow pics of Vernal Falls...scenic pics and clips of hike for sometime...returned from Happy Isles on Shuttle as far as Lower Falls, hopped off to go back to the Oak Grove...Buck and Doe thereabout....Deer crossed the Road to the Elm...pic and clip of Buck...Doe off somewhere...and then I sighted Mallards out in Bobcat Meadow just in front of the Elm...High Water has made Ponds in the Meadow...left off from the Deer, and set the digi up for Mallards...pics and clips...Doe came around...tried for clip....Buck was far in distance by Boardwalk...returned to Mallards, and then Buck was around, sniffing the Snow for Doe, and running about...card full from Mallards, so no clip, but pics, for sometime....picked up, and when nearing Flicker Grove, looked back, and saw Buck go out to the Elm, still looking for Doe...farfar away clip and pic....clip just too far away, but pic is up.....friend I referred to has listened to a vast, probably too vast!, number of my post ups in conversations during breaks and meals at Last Chance....and always with good humor....and I've added many of their reports of critters seen on their walks...oh..too cloudy still...
