Two Ducks and A Pond

Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 2 November 2007 in Animal & Insect.

I snapped these two ducks keeping cool on a hot day. They were not actually in a pond, but a fountain. I did some cropping to give mask the origin of the water.

Heh, they're very smart ducks. :) I can imagine that it must've been nice for them to swim in the fountain so that they could be sprayed every once in a while.

U achieved de 'natural' effect -- ah thought they were in a river (doesn't look man-made at all).

Ducks can have fun being ducks almost anywhere, a fountain, a lake, a stream, a lagoon, a pond, even a mud puddle. Nice capture Stunner!
