Sony DSC F707. Don't usually get the opportunity to get down to a duck's level in a little pond. Taken in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Beautiful shot Lisa! How were you positioned for this shot? I can picture you low in a boat or on your tummy on land. Or were you in the pond with Mr. Mallard? I'm just curious. It's a great shot!Cathy :) #18163

Thanks Carolyn and Cathy. I was sitting on the ground indian style at the edge of the little pond and bringing my camera even lower to the ground. These ducks were almost tame because of all the people that visit Rocky Mountain National Park. I could almost touch them. #18169Patrick Campbell May 27, 2019 0
