A duck carefully picking its path out down the snow bank to the open water at the duck pond. There might have been a patch of about 10 sq. ft. of open water for them to wade about in and most of it was filled with duck. I think it got to the point where one would slide in one side and another would pop out on the other side.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

I think the Ducks in your part of the world are having their Winter Olympics, Wendell.
We have seen them racing and now skiing or the ski jump.
You are covering them really good.

That's a great shot Wendell!!! You've captured the duck perfectly - he really has that look of determination about him and is planning his move to jump into the pond at just the right moment!!!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

He has a very determined look on his face. I think he should have just pushed off and dove the rest of the way. Excellent color and clarity in this shot, Wendell.

What a great action shot - not a lot of action but difficult shot none the less - I can even see some snow spraying up by his neck.

He is focused and in good form heading towards a gold medal finish...a timely and unique shot.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.

Great capture Wendell. Maybe they like to play just as we do. Looks like he is enjoying the slide.
