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.....
