Here's a pretty good shot of the new visiting duck. It's all white, and quite large. I wonder if it's an escapee from one of the Long Island duck farms. Hmmm - are there still Long Island Duck farms? There were many of them when I was a kid, but I suspect many have been replaced by housing developments. This is my new camera, a replacement for the one I lost on vacation. It seems pretty good, and hopefully will last at least until next summer's big vacation.
Fantastic fall colors in the park right now - just a few trees, really standing out in contrast with the greenery.
Interesting fishing line caught in a tree. It comes straight up from the water, and is looped over a branch of a tree by a stick tied to its end. Sadly, it looks impossible to get from the shore. Hopefully none of the birds will strangle themselves on it before the Parks Dept. takes action.
