Peking Duck
April 26, 2008
Karma ~ Canon 30d
Just as I was about to take a picture of this blossom-laden branch, a male mallard duck suddenly came flying in for a cacophonous landing, marked by much quacking, splashing and disruption of water. Luckily, I had the camera set on high exposure mode (or whatever the official term is) and took about 5 images in rapid sequence as the karmic effect of his landing rippled out across the water. My feathered friend is obscured, but he's in there, just behind the blossoms.

How perfect Susan! Almost looks as if someone Photoshoped him in there.... lucky you and smart ducky!

What fun! I especially like the first shot where your eye sees the ripple of landing and must search for the cause.
