Taking Flight

bbrewer (59)in #photography • 7 years ago (edited)

I took a trip to the pond this morning to do some fishing for therapeutic purposes.

It turned out that the photo opportunities were better than the fishing so I captured some shots of the ducks that were hanging out along the bank.

My timing on this shot resulted in an unexpected display of beautiful extended wings, engaged in a rapid flapping motion. There for a second I thought the bird was going to take flight.

But how could a mommy mallard leave her babies behind? She may be tempted sometimes, with their incessant cheep, cheep, cheeping; but a good mommy loves her babies and does not leave them behind for long.

Conclusion - This duck may actually be the mother of the long lost mascott for Flappy Bird (far right).

Thanks. The fishing was not too good. I think everything was too still. I was targeting the larger bass but didn't get any action. I am sure I could have caught some nice bluegill and other panfish, but didn't try for them.
