i admit it.... i've been on a ducky mission these last days... but you must agree - they are amazing whether on the ground or in flight... as this one is... actually, this poor fella was trying desperately to get away from me.
i really was approaching quietly but the other ducks around me were doing their incessant squawking and honking - so who can be quiet around that? they all had no fear at all on this day, gathering around me as though i was a sudden best friend but all i had was my camera doing its slight beep and click.
i was just about to capture this one when he spread his wings - i was only a foot away from him, ever so close to have those gentle wings open in front of me.... i was so startled i nearly dropped my camera. by the time i recovered, i knew the shot would be out of focus and probably no good... in reality it turned out not so bad at all... i think the slight blurring adds to the effect, especially since there's still snow on the ground.
the story, too, makes up for any mishap....it's how life is - how things happen when we least expect them, right? and then we just go with it - hoping for the best... flying low, under the radar maybe because the least disruption from us or in our lives is most preferable. we are funny creatures that way... sometimes i like to fly low - coast along... other times i believe it's best to fly smack into life full force regardless of the disruption. how about you?
happy day.....
