Happy weekend everyone!
Nothing like a 55' Chevy to get my heart started!
Interesting the bright sun changed the color of the hood!

Hi again everyone.  

A mom and some of her ducklings from last year.

Simple lines in the 55 Chevy. Nice looking car, Rich. Thanks for starting the thread.

Beautiful family shot of the ducks, Darlene.

Here's some Black Swans and cygnets plus a couple of Australian Pacific Black Ducks from this spring.

Awww. I also like the lovely Pacific ducks, too.

Rich, the '55 Chevy is one year older than the first car I remembered my folks having (a '56 that was mostly white with a nice wedge of yellow where the chrome split. Fine photo too.

Darlene and MFI, nice waterfowl captures. Always a pleasure to view.

Nice photos all,

Peter, the black swans don't seem to have as many feathers as the white breed. Maybe it is just the color of the feathers that creates that effect.
Darlene, sweet little trio of ducklings paddling away, following their mama's lead.
Rich, I keep telling myself that I need to take my camera to the car museum that go to at least twice a year. I just have not been in the mood to take photos. But your chevy photo might have just twisted my arm.

Thanks Peter, Dave and Lorell.
Wonderful Hen Mallard and her brood photo Darlene!

Thanks Dave. My buddy in Oklahoma City had a yellow and white 55', now he has a teal and white one. He put a big block engine in it.

Thanks Peter, the red beak really adds some interest to the swans. I agree with Lorell about the feathers.

Lorell, thanks! Get out there and shoot some car photos! Your near car city so you might be able to find something!

[Dave]

Hi Lorell.

Rich, teal & white sounds like a good combination.

I'm not very familiar with white swans. They don't naturally occur in Australia. I have no idea whether they have less or more feathers, to tell the truth.
