progression of landing...

the thrill of victory...  success with making the final turn in the air - approaching an imaginary landing strip - spreading wings... skimming over the water to a beautiful stop - plopping gracefully into the little lake... 



all done very quickly - after much practice, i'm sure - yet to my eye - appears technically perfect for a duck...  sometimes that "plopping" really is a plop as they forget to put the brakes on fast enough - almost going head over webbed feet into the water!  those times are fairly rare, though... 




usually what i'm privy to - is a gorgeous dance of fluid motion which is stunning, because it's nature at its best - putting on a show for me to enjoy - free to watch and observe - to marvel and wonder at how they do it - to clap my hands at their success; encourage their moments in the sun... 




and when they lighting is working with me - exceptional in its brilliance - i can capture those moments of gracefulness on film  - playing with pastel loveliness as if i were an artist with a brush painting on canvas...  it fills me with unending joy...

happy day.....
