Yesterday morning I was out to Nature Preserve, as I am always, but noticed a flock of ten Mallard Ducks in pond. Now this should not be unusual except I have never seen more than one pair in this pond before. I am assuming that they are here as a stopover on migration. The pond is full of plankton right now and they have been feasting. Anyways I took a ton of pictures of them yesterday and today..I am uploading 2 pictures of these guys here..

Great shot. Looks like you drove him straight off the showroom floor. Framing and colors are excellent. Ducks Unlimited would probably like a print of this. Good post Gerry.

Clear, full of colour and a lovely hint of his reflection in the water.

Such beautiful colors. These two duck posts would make a wonderful montage all ready for hanging too.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Fantastic shot Gerry. The color and sharpness is perfect and so are the composition and framing also. Perfect work.
