The Carolina Duck or the Wood Duck. It is a very common sight in many parts of east and the west coast of USA. I took this photo at the Botanical Gardens of St.Louis, Missouri.
It took me a great time in spotting them.. but these guys were really cool to let my camera come close enough for this shot. It was near Diveagar beach
The fisherfolk at Diveagar fix long poles in a line going into the sea. The net is stretched along this line of poles. and Voila! By morning, the Kolis gather the harvest.
I spent the whole of 30th December night at Diveagar... huddled inside a bedsheet in the chilling cold, i woke up as the day broke .. to the sound of the sea and feel of fine sand.
30th December night, I was at Diveagar beach with my friends. It was full moon and the whole beach was bathed with pristine white light. I took some low light photographs .... was able to capture the stars :)
