Glad to hear you just needed a break & some "me" time, Amanda! Wonderful tones, colors, detail, clarity, & diagonal comp here, my friend! I would say he is a "rebel duck"! WTG! #1260902

We have had a pair of ducks come to our pool every April for the past few years. They stop by every day until June and then they go to their next place! Jeff #8560917
