Good morning Peeps

Hmm strange posting from Smurfie today.. well there is a message behind this image..

I took this on Sunday at the country park, and to be frank its not good..however I was chuckling so much to myself when I shot it I felt I still wanted to share it with you.

So I decided to add the captions to give it an amusing take and make the best of a bad image.

Sometimes in life things don't work out the way you want (as in my original picture) However you can always try to approach things from a different angle, and sometimes the result can be suprising and just maybe (as hopefully is the case here) it will bring a smile to your face.

Have a great day peeps.

TTFN regards Smurfie

Hi Helen
It bought a smile to my face. Do photos always have to be perfect and totally serious anyway. Whats wrong with an amusing take every now and then?
Did you manage to capture 2 ducks upside down at once or did you add another into the shot with pp work? If there were 2 on the pond/lake then you were lucky to catch that anyway. Then to add the captions has just finished it off for a smiley wednesday.
