You'll need to look full screen to see them, but what stopped me were the ducks swimming on the flooded golf course the morning of our first frost.

What a wonderfully peaceful shot. Well until the balls start flying :) Terrific shot Hilda.

Edit: You know? I can't see the ducks either. Are you pulling our webbed feet? lol

No way ...
I mean no ducks. LOL
But the image is most charming nevertheless.
Watching it is like inhaling a cigarette [if smoker] or taking a first sip of Martini [shaken not stirred if drinker] or any other addictive thing like staying stuck on Caedes for hours and hours on end ... LOL

Well, why not? It's a body of water and ducks need to keep their feathers clean and get a drink every now and then. Looks real early in the morning, Hilda. I love the low light.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Well, my dear...it looks like if the weather continues to be as cold as it looks here, the ducks are going to want to seek warmer climes...it's still in the 60s here during the day and only a very light frost at night.

I love the blue tint of this early morning shot. You do such good work !!

Great shot, but any shot of a golf course is great unless it's mine. Like the colors of this. Good photo.

If you look straight back in the center the tiny bumps on the water are the ducks swimming. I zoomed in on them in another shot, but they were shrouded in the mist and looked out of focus. I may post it just so people will believe they are there!

Nice shot, I bet it was a beauty of a sunrise. I can't see the ducks but I do like all the dark shadows.
