But it isn't a beach, either is it? That was my first thought, but ...dux on a beach????
As long as they are happily in theri own environment!
I've done what you asked, it worked fine. Have you seen that I also changed to beta a couple of hours ago. It was just getting worse & worse. So now this is my turn to test it. Or you can do the same as you asked me. Oh-oh, something looks wrong here. The comments box suddenly doubled!

I was going to say Ducks on parade, but I guess they are resting in line. Nice shot . The beach looks a bit hard on the feet though.

Meg in Nelson said...

Thank you, folks.

Tr3nta & Photowannabe, I felt like I was invading their privacy.

Mile Stones, it's Nelson Lakes. I still have one comment!

Ame said...

Oooooo...yeah, a little rocky...that sand is! LOL! I like how the water and ducks and rocks all take on the same kind of texture..nice one Meg! Four little ducks...all in a row, almost! =)

A nice beach for ducks, they are not annoyed by tourists who generally don't like to lie down on pebbles! I have no worries with beta, i hope it will be ok for you too. Have a nice weekend!

Faye Pekas said...

I'm sure they are quite pleased NOT to have to cross the street. Is the whole shore rocky or are there sand areas too?

kris said...

always a pleasure to see them..lOvely!

Meg in Nelson said...

Thank you, ladies.

Ame, there were heaps more to the right, but one was moving around too much so I concentrated on the sedate ones.

Alice, thank you, and Bon Weekend to you, too.

Faye, not sandy for my liking, but closer to the lake is... shall I say pebbly?

Kris, Thanks.

You live in a fantastic country... In the country of my dream trip...
It is good to me observe it through your camera!
Thank you!

Well would you look at that....our templates ARE remarkably similar!
Love the ducks-they're always so fun to shoot.

Meg in Nelson said...

Earithranduil, NZ is not going anywhere; it'll still be here when you arrive.

Cris & Deb, geez, do you have to shoot them?

Lachezar said...

You have to enlarge it to appreciate it!

Meg in Nelson said...

They were so relaxed and unafraid of people it was amazing. Thanks for your visits.
