Better Late Than Never

I have been full of activities lately and I wanted to post a lot of photo blogs. However, the series of events has been eating my time out. I have been out most of the time, or I was working (although part-time), or I process a lot of documents or I am out in the park, or sleeping or I was working for my traffic....which means, dropping ECs, stumbling and be stumbled and stuffs like that.
pleasant day in the neighboring park, park, ducks, pleasant day
One of the pleasant days, where the ducks and other water swimming creatues enjoy. We humans, enjoy this kind of weather as well...

This means that my photograpic posts have been piled up. This is because I have to upload to some free hosting for photos and just link it to my blog to make it run faster. I actually do it now for 3 of my blogs so I don't suffer the delays in loading the pages.

So what I have been to lately? What are the happenings around? The images I post here happened 2-3 weekends before the date today (when this post was made). Come and we'll explore some stuffs together.

These are the other shot of the birds in the park with pond...

Your duck pond is very similar to one I sometimes go to. Mine has a boardwalk that goes across the middle. It's a small place that is tucked in among buildings.
