Great photo, Jim! His plumage is so striking against the blue sky. I suppose those dark green-blue feathers are all brand new to assist him in his spring mating duties. ;)
cute! your pictures look really great. what kind of camera do you use? the pictures i take w/ my point-and-shoot digital camera don't turn out nearly as clear and sharp as yours.
Katie, I use a Fuji F50se which is 3X and 12mp. I also use a Sony DSC-H20 which is 10X and 10mp. The duck was shot with the sony. Most of the close ups are shot with the fuji. Both are point and shoot pocket cameras.
I never touched a plant till Pat and I moved to Cleveland from Chicago. Our house came with trees and trees and more trees. it also came with overgrown landscaping that hadn't been tended to for 15 years. Pat's always been the gardener. I love hanging out with Pat and I know how to use a shovel. Along the way I discovered a love of gardening. But first, We had to take 12 trees down and 40 dead bushes out. Hosta, ligularia, and sedum are my favorite plants.
Our yard is clay. Clay, clay and more clay. Clay all the way to the center of the earth. The people at the conservation district told us that " we're at the wrong end of the glacier". I nodded the nod of the intimidated and have repeated it ever since. We are true belivers in sweet peet and work in 15 yards every spring. Our back yard faces north and is a good 6 feet lower than the house. Most of the back yard is moist year round. Except for the north east corner, the yard is under shade or partial shade. The front yard is mainly sunny. We are in zone 5b.

Does he have a mate? Or maybe he flew up there trying to get a better vantage point to find one ;-)
