It has been quite a few years since I have taken the time and wandered into downtown Easton, MD for the annual Waterfowl Festival. It was a beautiful afternoon on Friday, so I grabbed the Nikon and went for a walk on opening day. There were places where I wanted to go, but I had no idea as to what I wanted to capture images of. I did go in with the intention of presenting these images in black and white mode. Unfortunately, the adventure was cut short when something on the side of my right foot ripped/tore/burst. It’s a shame because it seemed to be a good crowd turnout and everyone looked like they were having a good time.

A resighting of "Sharkmobile" was the perfect way to start the journey. Dottie and I first spotted "Bruce" on Rt 301 on our way to see Hannah and Nate in Lancaster. It was easily recognizable because it's hard to forget.

The Waterfowl Festival is an annual 3 day celebration of everything related to waterfowl, starting on the second Friday in November. It is held in Easton MD. And I get it. Ducks, geese, hunting, and everything else associated with it might not be your thing. But don't let that distract you. There are amazing works of art on display by really creative and talented people. And since it is a festival, local musicians get to showcase their talents and there are food vendors everywhere. If you get a chance to check it out, you may just find it rewarding.
