It was a beautiful sunrise again this morning and I felt duty bound to record it for all you Late night TV watching, shade pulling, pillow punching, cover kickers out there. This is the sunrise over
Missiquoi Bay on Lake Champlain in
Alburg Springs VT.
This time of year the ducks like these mallards are nesting so I was a bit
surprised and Puzzled to see these two Drakes paired up together. It could be a father and son reunion or they might be the ducks from Broke Back
Mountain.
These
beauty's were heading back to their bedding ground and were nice enough to pause for a picture. The two yearlings look like bookends behind their Mother.
Last week we were looking at buds and now things are bursting out all over. I'm sure the pollen count must be high and I sympathise with anyone who suffers with
allergy's like this.
This Canada Goose had just hit the water hard as you can see by the turbulence he left in his wake.
After my morning hike I headed down to Holiday Harbor to help with getting the docks in the lake for another season.
The docks were rigged with chains and then lifted and placed by this truck mounted Crane. The Boom extends and swings from a mounted platform and is responsible for Bruce and I finishing the job with our backs intact.
One of the smaller docks being hoisted up and over the ramp and into the lake where they can be floated into place.
The Harbor Master in full regalia looking every inch like Gulliver hooking up the
Lilliputian fleet.
This can be hazardous work and care must be taken to make sure to not pinch or jam any significant digits.

Nice shots from your hike.
I'm pretty sure there are no such thing as brokeback ducks. I'll bet they were young drakes that had yet to find a mate.
Tell the Harbormaster that picture gives new meaning to "fingerlings".
Looks like a full day! We enjoyed the wildlife and sunrise shots.
I got up before John did today, but still not early enough to see the sun rise. It was raining here this morning anyway. Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos.
the pics of the sunset and the ducks are awesome!!
