Starducks

I headed over to Starbucks to do a little workin' women watching over a cup of coffee and a bagel before heading over to the Marina with the camera. Lightroom 3 has been improved in many different ways, but if you don't watch what you're doing when you download images, it's a real pain finding them.

Ducks were there, and not much else.





That's not the order I wanted to download, but it really doesn't make any difference. It's just that kind of day.

Below is autumn as seen through the window over my front door. That's a Bradford pear tree in my neighbors yard, the leaves of which fall on my yard. My neighbor won't rake the leaves up, claims she's too busy, so after cleaning up my section a couple of times I just start blowing them back on her. She doesn't notice so what the hell?



After taking the duck photos at the marina, I headed over to the Dunkin' donuts to see what they had to offer. I think the coffee there was disappointing, and the donut just ok. At least they had a tv to watch, but from now on I think I'll just have my coffee at home where it tastes much better, and is a lot cheaper.

  1. The ducks are beautiful in any order Kelvin. Great detail and they fill the frame! Love the leaf story as we relate to a similar one here!! Crazy prices on coffee!! My favorite is ice coffee, light ice, at Wegmans. Its their city roast and they chill it after roasting so it is only diluted by the amount of ice you add. Thus I ask for light ice! Drink it year round as any good former Bostonian would! Joanne

  2. Kelvin, the mallard is great. Love filling the frame with all of the color and detail. Mallards seem to be taken for granted along with the seagull, but they are patient subjects and well worth the effort.
