My entry to today's Monomad Challenge, once again the ducks.
Ducks and more ducks.
I know that sometimes I can be very pushy with the ducks I come across on my walks through the park, but it's what's most in the park and it would be wrong of me not to take the pictures.
Let's start with this picture which is my favorite of all, in fact when I took the picture the truth is that I immediately thought of a story that could be told in another post with more time, but in my mind it was a story of heartbreak, abandonment, surprise, longing, desire and confusion, not to make the story so long in this post, the duck was taking a bath at noon, and suddenly his flock mates left the place, that created this scene.
Honestly, sometimes I have lived experiences that have made me look just like the duck, I think that sometimes I have identified myself with him. Although now that I take a better look at the picture, I forgot to take a picture when the other ducks arrived and perched on the fallen tree, my bad.
More ducks.
Sometimes I can spend hours watching the animals in the park, just sitting next to them waiting for the right moment to take a picture, I'm not the type to shoot in burst mode so as not to miss any details, in fact I think I'm a bit stingy in that aspect, but sometimes I get the things I want.
This time I was focusing in manual mode, so on more than one occasion I failed to keep the focus on the main duck's eyes, however the scene is there, and although there is nothing epic about watching these ducks, for me it is a good experience.
By the way, this coming Wednesday I have a meeting with my doctor to see how I am doing with the problems I have been having, at the moment my blood pressure is already better controlled, not one hundred percent but much better than it was, my glucose should also be very low since I have not eaten almost anything with sugar and to be honest I feel pretty good.
In fact, looking back I feel much better than in the last 5 years. I don't know how I allowed myself to get to such a bad state of health without realizing it, my mind is stronger and the state of depression I was having I think I can say that I have overcome it, I just needed to go outside and make contact with nature again.
A photo that I must repeat.
In many occasions I observe places or things that I like to take pictures of, and not all the time I can take the best picture from the first moment, for example this scene with the contrast of light and dark, I need to go back but with the tripod to be able to take a better exposure, for the moment I took the picture as a sample, and to remind me to go back, so probably tomorrow or the next day I will go back to take the definitive picture, although I will probably take it in full color for a change, see you.
Thank you
