My family and I took a short winter walk along the river over the weekend.  We were alone with the ducks and a few other beautiful wild beings.  The photos are not that spectacular, but I did get to capture a few shots of a beaver, a bald eagle and a great heron.  The dog was so pleased to be out for a walk that he spooked everything a bit too early for me to capture any decent shots.  Regardless, it was sheer joy to share the chilly afternoon with beauty.
