The Rideau

This is a view we see quite often on our early morning walks with our granddaughters. There are always some Canada Geese there and usually a few Mallard Ducks. And there are hundreds of water lilies!

I've been taking lots of pics of this over the months and the lighting angle is never the best to catch the birds clearly but this is the only time of day we're ever there so ... this is it!

Many thanks for dropping by.
