PhotoFriday: Freeze Frame

Duck taking off over Rainbow Lake.
Taken during our vacation in July.

The back story to this is that the first thing I do each morning during our two week vacation at Wakanda is head out to the lake to swim. Most mornings I take along one of my cameras (The working arsenal includes 2 digital (slr and waterproof), 2 film and a video camera.) Early in the morning the lake is usually crystal clear. Most mornings I see some sort of wildlife. Managing to photograph the wildlife is a rare occurence. This was taken when the camera was ready at the same time as the wildlife.

This is Nipper, the RCA dog. He appears on the label of old RCA records, and on the top of this building in downtown Albany, New York. When I was a child I loved seeing him sitting up there. I hadn't been to that part of Albany in years until I attended a conference downtown last fall. When I realized that Nipper was just down the street I made a special trip to take some shots of him.
