Happy Thursday!
I had the opportunity to spend some time this afternoon at the river. I was reminded of the fish on a board and when you pushed the red button it would sing, “Take me to the River, throw me in the water.”
It was an unusually warm day in Dubuque and the sun was shining so it was the perfect day to go down to the river. I was surprised, (although I shouldn’t have been) to see so much open water. There was very little ice on the river.
Found a bunch of Mallard Ducks along the shore line and I had fun trying to photograph them. At first they all swim away from you but after they determine you’re not a threat to them they be come more relaxed.
I did a far amount of walking to day, which is good I need the exercise but it was tiring and so I was a little bit sore when I got home.

I couldn’t pass up a chance to photograph a tree that was so perfectly surround by the river.
Once the ducks got use to me they started getting back on the ice and settling down for a nice afternoon nap.
It was a fun afternoon. Thanks for stopping by the blog. Enjoy your weekend and be careful.
