Photos were taken in Gilroy Garden after sunset time on a Sunday when time fell back 1 hour in observing day light saving time.

While I failed to capture my boys' faster movement on another ride, I turned to the nearby merry go round that I could pan the slower motion. And it was a fun experience just to watch kids getting the excitement in the ride.

I mentioned in my Tech Corner blog that I am a duck-aholic photographer once I see a mallard pair. I especially like to take photos of mallard pair flying together. It is much more difficult than still shots photography but it is just breath taking to take a closer shot of a mallard pair flying low around a water area where the pair goes in circle as if they dance in the air enjoying their companies in the mating season.

I took these still shots while waiting in line for a paddling ride in Gilroy Garden. Once I spotted this mallard pair in the paddling pond, I wished the waiting line would be longer. The autumn and pretty soon the winter season will set in and my family will wait for the next spring and summer to visit Gilroy Garden again. I can't wait to see the mallard pair again.
