RobinHood Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 This thread is great for getting me to review my old photos (found this one from 2019 that I hadn't edited plus some on the mid-winter ice of Lake Huron). One of my favourite ducks. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
