More of this beautiful pair ! I was checking out the Audubon Website and picked up a new challenge for myself. Sometimes I do it without thinking and most times I don’t … but I want to start studying the habits of wildlife. What they are doing, how they act to fully tell a story of what I’m watching ! Since there’s this water hole this pair has come and hung out. I sat outside on the patio and just watched them swim along, and go foraging for their food. On the artistic side .. I love how soft these shots came out and the colors. You may not always shot the “perfect” most “exciting” subject but beauty is what you make it. Also it provides you practice to really form your craft into what it will become and is. #mallard #mallardduck #mallards #mallard #virginiabeach #zoomlens #backyardpond #mates #backyardbirds #backyardbirding #backyardbirdwatching #backyardbirdsofinstagram #hamptonroadswildlife #birdsofvirginia #birdwatching #bealpha #sonywildlife #vawildlife #birdphotography #audobonsociety #raw_wildlife #bestoftheusa_birds #bestoftheusa_nature #yes_busa (at Virginia Beach, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaXTqmHulah/?utm_medium=tumblr
