STOPS ALONG THE WAY

TENTATIVE (THREE PHOTOGRAPHS)

I came across this wood duck chick as it was about to slip into the water. It reminded me of a child building up it’s courage to jump into the deep end of a pool.  The duckling seemed to wear a triumphant expression when he finally did.

    Did he say “Ta Da” when he finally plopped in?

    Such a brave little soul and those tiny wings! Amazing to think he’ll be flying before too long.

    What a fabulous series! Curious to know what drew your eye to this babe? I imagine that it is quite camouflaged?!? Is this a place you frequent and just know where to watch? Great compositions, too, btw.
