Memories of fall

Taken at Constitution Gardens several months ago, when we were enjoying fall colors. These days it’s so bitterly cold outside (in the 20s and teens, very unusual for DC), I don’t think I’ll even be able to get my usual White House and US Capitol Christmas tree pictures, much less any bird shots for a while.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

I never get tired of seeing pretty female mallards - they're so underrated compared to the males!
