We are at Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood, AZ. It has been cool but pleasant and the autumn colors are spectacular.
While taking a walk I came upon this gentleman enjoying some fishing.
This person was also doing a little fishing, but his style is just a little different.
A group of Ring-necked Ducks fishing for aquatic plants and invertebrate.
A beautiful autumn day.
