More Shots from Gallup

So I ended up meeting a couple friends and their kids at Gallup Park tonight. It was a nice enough night when the wind wasn't blowing but it was a little on the chilly side when it was. The sun was shining however, so it was a good night for photographing. I think this swan was trying to pose for me. He kept coming up and then wandering away. Or perhaps, he thought I had some food. Oh well, it makes for a nice picture.

This goose also seemed to be following me around. I kind of liked this shot however.

The Canadian geese were not as cooperative though.

The ducks were performing some sort of mating rituals. A mallard would come by and fight the other mallard.

A female mallard.

A male mallard.

I don't know how long I've been trying to capture a decent shot of a duck landing. This one came close....except for the branches.

From the right, you can see the other duck coming in for a fight.

Same swan, different pose.

Not sure what the squirrel was eating.

Then he climbed up in a tree.

And seemed to say, "What are you looking at, monkey boy"

Another shot of the goose. As I was getting in my car, I was afraid he was going to hop in with me.

And thus concludes my night at Gallup.
