With fall here the pace of duck life seems quieter. The young are grown, the noise level and squabbles are fewer. The female mallard enjoying a solitary swim seemed to confirm this.

Curious what your image would look like if you popped the colors and saturated them. Natural is good, but sometimes……..

This area was in shadow, so I kept it the way it was. I did brighten the duck a bit though.

As attractive as this picture is, can you imagine fitting it together as a jigsaw puzzle!

Nice capture, Belinda. They’re definitely on holidays right now. The ones here don’t migrate so they’re just kicking back. 😊

Thank you, Lynette. This waterway has a patch of water that remains open, so a few mallards always remain. One winter I saw someone drag a very heavy bag of cracked corn to the waters edge. He was mobbed 😊
