Sunset at Cedar Beach Mount Sinai, New York and duck pond Miller Place, NY

I should have stayed home and captured it from my back yard. It was so windy and cold there, I was freezing and only got one shot of the sun and a few of the beach. Didn't want to disappoint my gather friends so I stopped at the duck pond on the way home and got some shots of the freezing ducks.

Donna T. Jan 25, 2009, 4:10pm EST
That's a cool pic of the duck flapping his wings. You take nice pictures with that new camera. Guess what? Hubby got a new GPS system and when it came in the mail, he opened it right away. The camera is still in the box. I think I'm going to tell him that I'm TAKING THE CAMERA AWAY. He does not deserve it. LOL
