crop the top

Thanks to Evelynn who pointed out how distracting the bright sky at the top was. All that has been done here is a straight crop off the top
Thanks Evelynn!

The community context

(5406) [2007-08-30 08:42:03]

Here you see part of the odd little community that has developed on the pond. In addition to the white geese (which I cannot seem to identify, and would love your help with), the Canadian geese and the mallard hybrid, there are swans and other waterbirds that I have not yet been able to get close enough to to photograph.

Here you can see the blue speculum and the white bands that normally mark the female mallard.

I peek the the more white and the more black point in the butterfly and I told to GIMP that they were white and black. This takes seconds and it not a sophiscated job at all. :-)

With mother directly behind and siblings just a little further back, this saucy duckling begs for popcorn! Wild they may be, but shy they are not.

This is perhaps a more attractive presentation for all that it is less true to the original

Plant's Locale

(5406) [2007-08-16 08:36:30]

Here is where this delicate flower was growing: on the wall above the water where busy hands cannot uproot it.
The downside of this is, of course, that the roots of the plant damage the mortar and therefore cause the plant to be removed as cleanly and as frequently as possible.

Once again, this image is taken just moments before the main one but in this one we can see the roads as well
