Sunday afternoon

This is not far from home, about a 20 minute walk.

When I was a kid I loved to come here and see the ducks and geese. Most of the houses you see around were not there, so walking around the area was pretty cool.


I remember a bunch of all white geese and later on a flock of all brown ducks.

Yesterday, when we first got there, these were the only guys around. I like the different poses of the ducks.


Then I realized about that little 'patch' of bright colour feathers that these ones had on the sides/wings...


... purple...


... or blue!

Then, this guy saw me and decided it was a perfect moment to pose and wait for the-fat-girl-with-the-cam to finally!! take a picture...


... while this other one tried to keep a low profile and made me hide behind a bush to be able to get a close enough shot!


After a while, we saw this fellow... What happened to you???


By the time we had to leave, other odd looking duck-geese??? were arriving to the shore.


This is not what I remember from my childhood! Seems like someone's dad has been with the wrong mom! You know I have very little knowledge about this, so, if someone could explain or tell what these are, I would be very grateful :)


Lucky for us we had to leave, as these two didn't like to have their pics taken... 'What are YOU looking at?!!'
