Another year has passed me by, only got out a couple times to enjoy the call of the wild. No luck at all with my duck hunting and managed only a few photos from my limited outdoor adventures. So I'll share what I have.
During this season of duck hunting, I saw more Pileated Woodpeckers than ducks. I've been hunting flooded timber for more than ten years and seeing this species of woodpecker but this is the first year that I have been able to get a photo of one.
Sometimes the treasure you seek is not the treasure you find.

These Mallard dekes are two of several that I carved almost 15 years ago, made from light brown cork and basswood heads they have with-stood years of abuse.

This morning the clouds moved in and made the sun look like the full moon.

I have a weakness for the morning sun 's reflection in still water.

The moon appeared to rise so far to the north and early on this afternoon that I actually thought there was a problem with the Universe, LOL.
