This is like most duck species, there is a big difference in the way males (drakes) and females (hens) look. In order to attract a hen, the drake is much more colorful. For most of the year, he has a shiny green head, a white-ringed neck, brown chest and grey sides. The drake mallard also sports a brown back, black rump and tail.
The hen, on the other hand, is much less colourful. Her feathers are white and brown, which helps her blend in with her wetland surroundings. However, like the drake, she does have white and blue colouring on the speculum of her wings.

Summer was welcomed by the Waterfront festival held annually at the beautiful Port Credit park grounds last night. Though the predicted weather was not the best, Mother Nature decided to change her mind instead gave us one of the most beautiful evening to end spring. I look forward to this annual festival because the city always very generously gives us, the spectators and locals alike, a collection of many famous talent collections of Canadian artists and this year is no exception. Although they raised the gate ticket price it was worth it. As a result of this favourable combination, hundreds turned out to take advantage of this local festival of Stars.
The festival opened with the Multi Juno Award winner the Sam Roberts Band and ended with Bruce Cockburn’s collected work from his 26 albums. Other performers such as Kathleen Edwards, The Spoons, SKYDIGGERS, 54 40, Catherine Maclellan and numerous other performers contributed for another one very successful festival.

This is another picture during our visit to Sauble Beach in December 2008 during the Christmas holidays. Glorious sunshine filled day it was.
“Look round and round upon this bare bleak plain, and see even here, upon a winter’s day, how beautiful the shadows are! Alas! it is the nature of their kind to be so. The loveliest things in life, are but shadows; and they come and go, and change and fade away, as rapidly as these!”
