A cute Mallard couple has been swimming in our pool lately. We recently discovered the female had probably nested in the backyard, and the next morning we saw Mama Duck with nine new babies! ❤
(As a wildlife photographer, I could not resist a family photo!)

Bonjour de Paris! 😀 It feels so good to travel the world again! And Paris is one of my favorite cities. I could see the sunrise behind the Eiffel Tower from my hotel room, and I specifically looked for some other special views around town to photograph the Eiffel Tower at sunrise or sunset. The lovely rooftop view was from a great hotel bar where I enjoyed a fabulous glass of Champagne, and the Louvre is best enjoyed over a fabulous lunch at Cafe Marley. I am already dreaming of my next trip to this amazing city. ❤

After three days of PPA District Photographic Competition judging, I am thrilled that all 4 of my images have been accepted into the Merit Collection and will go to the International Photographic Competition in September, where they will be judged again for the prestigious Imaging Excellence Collection – and that judging will determine the color of my medal. 🙂
