I shoot a lot of random stuff that isn’t quite enough for a whole story. When I was working at The Athens Messenger, we’d post pictures like that on The Wall of Desperation, to bail us out when the well was dry and the monster in the pressroom still needed feeding.
I haven’t reached that point yet, since I still have some fresh Cape stories in the bag, but I thought I’d run these random scenics as a palate cleanser.

Click on a photo to make it larger, then use your arrow keys to look at a sunset over Lake Okeechobee; a falling-down building in Capps, Florida; cattle grazing in Cape County, ducks at Capaha Park and springtime in North County Park.
Hey Ken, those are geese, the ones that chase you if you get too close.
I call them Knot heads because of the knots on their heads .
Dennis and Fred,
I should have gone with my first instinct to dodge the issue by calling them “waterfowl.” Unfortunately, I fell into the “if is has feet like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck” trap.
I’ve shot plenty of ducks and geese at Capaha Park. Here is an example of proper identification.
