Duck Me!

"Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath."~Michael Caine

For some reason, I find water fowl of all sorts to be interesting subjects for both observation and as photographic subjects. Maybe it's the serene vibe I get from watching them engaging in any number of different behaviors, whether cleaning their feathers, teaching their young to swim, or even chasing one another after a piece of bread.


Yesterday afternoon, Anne and I went for a walk along the The Erie Canal, starting in Pittsford, NY, and came across a fairly large group of ducks, including a few ducklings.


Breathe in, breathe out... YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
