Deserts and Beyond

Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.

Duck adventures at the park


Yesterday morning I drove to the park to feed the ducks early, about 7 a.m.  I stopped by the park a couple of mornings last week to feed the critters and now when they see my car, they waddle out into the parking lot.  EGADS!  I guess they are hungry!  I mean, these have GOT to be the best-fed ducks in Riverside County!  I bought a bag of cracked corn for them (no breadcrumbs for these guys!) and I'll be posting pics of them all week. I took this photo after they'd had their breakfast.

Your excellent photo reminds me of our park and the ducks that used to live there. I used to feed them 50 pounds of cracks corn every two days. Anyway, the city got tired of complaints of duck poop everywhere and gave the ducks to a farmer.

Soon you'll be their quack/mom. ;) Glad you take corn and not bread. They are wonderful, although can be a little overwhelming.

I go to Fairmont Park in Riverside, often to feed the ducks or walk around the lake. Sometimes I climb to the top of Rubidoux mountain where the cross is.
