By The River

Well it's pretty boring over here in Columbus. It's always like this during the winter months. This is the last 3 day weekend until May. So far this month is pretty warm, but we are expecting a blast of air from Canada to cool us down for a few days. Not expecting much of any snow.

Yesterday I paid a quick visit to Scioto River to photograph some ducks and geese. Its been a while I went on a photo break. I got to see the common Mallard Ducks, seagulls, and Canada geese. There are a few Graylag and Embden geese around. The geese are big and loud. They also have a very nice flying pattern when migrating.

These birds expect you to feed them, because once you pull your car up to the park, they totally surround your car. They will stare at you for about half a minute before figuring that you don't have any food for them and go away. One old lady got food for them when I was there, though.

In other news, I scheduled a vacation between 3/21/08 and 4/6/08! For these 2 weeks I probably will spend the majority of time in Taiwan and a few days in LA. My parents are going back to Taiwan earlier in March for the election, so I'll just meet them there. I will most likely travel with Ivy.
