My first photo outing of January 2011 took me, Blaine and Richard to Junction Creek, Sudbury. We focused on a stretch of open water and a congregation of hundreds of mallard ducks grooming and feeding along the icy shore.
Suddenly the sun found an opening in the clouds and the ducks came alive; bright orange feet, emerald heads and sparking white snow.
Minutes later a snow flurry blew across the sun creating the lovely speckled panorama you see below.
