The Conductor!

[Guest]

This morning's walk around the local wetlands didn't offer many shots - but do you think this fellow was getting ready to conduct Handel's Water Music?

Definately.

Just like this.


I love your capture of the duck.

Re: The Conductor!

Nice capture - and very amusing. I'm wondering if it would be better facing the camera, but actually I'm not sure!

Had to be this way Ian - the usual view audiences get of the conductor.

Re: The Conductor!

Strikes me the Conductor was Ducking the issue ... ROFL or maybe lost his stick um baton ? ...

Lyn a great shot ! this would make my wall here Thanks for sharing this and giving us here in the UK HEATWAVE ... something great to smile about (while we wait, and wait, and wait for the rain to stop and the clouds to clear and the SUN to arrive with the forecast and possible HEATWAVE !)

... unless the weather forecasters got it wrong, again

Thanks Chevvy - I was lucky with this one. Nothing much was on show and I was just about to give it away when this duck decided to put on his show!
When all else fails - find a duck to photograph!
Hope your weather improves - we have had our shortest day now, so roll on Spring and the Roses! Which reminds me - I have to get out and prune today!

Thanks Huw - nowhere near your great standard of photos, but worth a smile I thought!

Lyn, Banana skins ! Save them from everyone and place them on the ground around your roses, water over them. why? I saw some around some spectacular roses in a garden I photographed! the owners said it more than doubles the blooms what? I did it last year and YES double the blooms for sure! (as we have 6+ children x 3days a week, and they have one a day for Potassium it was easy!

Hi Chevvy - Yes, you are right on the money with this one! I know about the banana skins - but you have to put a lot on to get the potassium - no trouble for you I see, but the two of us would be going some! I do put our skins out in the name of being "green" but doubt if they do much good in our case!
I have started pruning the climbers - got one done today - only 12 more to go and 100 odd bushes! Crikey - it gets harder every year!

Re: The Conductor!

Lyn, the Peeps who told me about it, are just a mature couple household! So any amount will help the Roses !
Heck 100 + Roses to prune, that like Mottisfont Abbey ! I only have 3 Roses !
