Welcome to my blog where I try to post a photo taken somewhere in or around Bellefonte, PA each day or close to it.
I also post various meme's here such as (ABC Wed., Skywatch Fri., Photo Meme's, Camera Critters, Weekend Mailbox) that I participate in each week, which are also focused in or around my town.
May I borrow your duck to use on my Rinkly Rimes blog page? I'd like to reprint this little poem. I'll give you due credit, of course.
I LIKE THE COLOURS.
'I like the colours'. Yes, you said it. It hadn't loaded when I read it. As the picture moved on down I was surprised to see just brown! I had expected something bright, Some yellow, red or green delight, Something to flash and flare and flurry, Something to grab me in a hurry. Something to jangle and distract, Something vivid, action-packed. You mentioned 'colour', I thought 'paint', Something wild, without restraint. Then, when I saw this little fellow, With his feathers mild and mellow, With that gentle, autumn brown, With that snowy touch of down, I thought 'subtle' and I knew I liked his colours as much as you.
ALso, I don't know if you are interested or not or if you have ever seen a Pileated Woodpecker, but I posted one on My Birds Blog this morning. It is our largest woodpecker and this is the first one I have seen here in 46 years.

Something to flash and flare and flurry,
Something to grab me in a hurry.

Something vivid, action-packed.

A beautiful duck to be sure. I love the colors.

That is a pretty colored duck.
I've never seen one quite like that. This is a really, really good shot.
