Mallards Rising Over Cape Blomidon, Nova Scotia

Cape Blomidon, in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley is as beautiful a scene as most would wish for. But, to see the very common, and ever beautiful Mallard Ducks rising, with Blomidon in the background, is a real treat! Capturing that moment in time with paint is a thrill beyond description! This painting was composed looking across the Avonport 'flats', heading west and just before reaching the bridges that cross the Gaspereau River. One of my all-time favorite 'spots' to view, it provides a visual thrill regardless of weather. Bright sunlight, foggy dew, or blowing snow - makes no difference to me!
