Memorial Day weekend was a pleasing time for one Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. She was in her glory with country roads and more ducks than you could shake a stick at! If you were to step into either of these photos and describe what it sounded like, what do you think you’d hear? This is what I heard while taking these photos– Birds, birds and more birds. There were ducks(many varieties), geese and goslings, and Meadowlarks; Pelicans (which are pretty quiet, I think), Yellow Headed Blackbirds and Red Winged Blackbirds; Hawks, Pheasants and Mourning Doves–just to name a few. All of this singing with a background of wind. Abby Sunshine ran and played nearly the whole weekend and was sweetly exhausted each evening.
Here Abby turns as if to say, what are you doing with that camera again? This is my dreamland! I don’t need to pose for any pictures. She swam in numerous sloughs (like this one), whether they were muddy or not didn’t seem to phase her.
