I love the variety of waterfowl in the lakes, streams and rivers around the Madison area... until they wreck my reflection shot. Then roast duck starts to sound good. |

WAMX 4223 |
| Description: |
This area of the lake was a popular spot amongst the ice fishers. Just out of frame on both sides are several additional shanties and groups of faithful fishermen. My shots from this spot were cut short by a Toyota Tacoma that drove right in front of me at an exaggeratedly slow pace. Apparently its occupants couldn't wait one more minute to spend the next several hours on the ice. Perhaps the driver was thick enough to think that I walked to the middle of the lake because I wanted a picture of his ugly mug sticking out of his %$@*^# truck. Oh well - a cold reminder that manners (and lack thereof) are learned traits, and some people are just immune to common courtesy. |

Total luck shot here - was driving to the Dells taking the scenic route when I happened upon the local with a solid train heading towards Madison outside of Lodi. I banged a quick U-turn and headed back into town to catch them at the bridge. Sadly, I was on a schedule (ish) so I did not have the luxury of chasing. |
