landing gear is down...

...approaching runway

ducks were taking to the air - on this blue sky morning - and i was fortunate enough to catch one coming - in for a landing telling the tale the whole way in - he was definitely a chatty one - i admit it's been a while since - i've captured a duck in flight - and i was rather pleased at getting this one over - the trees against the backdrop of the mountains - as he came soaring down from the sky

what a treat to see the beauty of a line of ducks - making a huge sweep in the vast blue sky - before landing in water - i will always find it breathtaking - for me, it inevitably leads to...

a

happy day.....
