Title: some ducks
Post by: wastickslinger on January 20, 2008, 02:21:04 PM: I have been in walla walla for 15 days and will be her for another 8 helping with the wind storm damage. There is a sweet park that has all kinds of ducks, exotic pheasants, and other birds. I took a lunch break and checked it out. Seen some ducks I have never seen before. Here are a few shots with my FX9. Man I cant wait to get a new camera. If I get it before I leave here I will get some shots of some more ducks.

You guys cant hate me now that I have told you that I am in the insurance business. :chuckle: I pay for what I can and hate denials.
