Watercolor tones - Animal week

Some mallards and what I've called wood ducks for years.  But I think they are something else.  Do you know?

Sorry I didn't get better pictures, they were kind of shy...this being the time of day people walk their dogs around the lake...or maybe just siesta time for them.

OK, I'll take my real camera on my next walk at the lake!

The minute I came down the bank, the wood duck took off...leaving me with mallards close by.

He's hiding behind the leaves of this bush...and what a pretty bird he is.  I'll keep trying.

He did it...Animal week

What happened here?

These are the two guys I'm helping daily.  Feeding, cleaning up their litter box, and this day putting the cloth and salt and pepper shakers back on the table to protect it from whom?  Right.

Here's the girl, all innocence of course.

Shy Sheep - Animal Week

This is the best photo Ms. Sheep would let me take of her.  Shy?

More animals...more donkeys and ?

The little guy on the right is definitely a donkey.  But what are the other 2?  Llamas or Alpacas?

I had turned off the road just to get another photo of the snow on the mountains...and here was this sweet little farm.  There's a chicken in there somewhere too!

I'll give you more information tomorrow as to the buildings and who runs this farm!

Too many trees, but they sure bring out the beauty of those distant peaks.

The blond in Animal Week

Yes that's snow still in shady spots, and probably the reason these donkeys were sunning themselves up close to the road.
