This is Shibdon pond,Once a garbage tip,Now Reclaimed.It's 400m from my home.I go there to relax and feed my friends the ducks and geese.On the horizon is the west end of the city of Newcastle.The west end is where i was born 66 years ago on May 18th..These birds after being very timid,Now run to greet me when they see me coming.Amazing creatures they feed from my hand and peck at my shoes if i don't get a move on with the food..I love going there winter or summer they are always waiting..R.

So you are like a family member to them Richie. This happens only to farmers who have their own geese and ducks. Nice peaceful scene with all the birds.

This displays one of the greater things in life. However there are more: To quote your favorite poet: It's faster horses, younger women, older whiskey and more money.

You might have to put a gaggle order on these to keep them quiet. Wonderful shot.

Watch your step!! Oops!! Too late.

I did not know ducks come in so many colors Richie. I love the sky my friend. It really adds depth to the post. I am also glad they did something in that site to give back to nature instead of taking.
