Usually I show both the reflection and the thing reflected. This time I thought the water carrying the reflection was the interesting thing. I was taking pictures of gentle ripples jiggling a reflection when a raft of ducks paddled into the picture and made it even wilder.
You don't think a bunch of ducks is a "raft?" Don't take my word for it!

ReplyDeleteThese guys are always fun. Very nice shot Jack, beautiful light.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good thing that you caught the photos of the ducks on the water rather than on land. Otherwise your raft would have become a safe, based on the obscure terms in the link you provided.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me. I 've had a hankering for a big bowl of clam chowder... quackers and all.

Serendipity! And I believe everything you post, Jack, without any doubts, ever. Thanks for the new use of a known word!
ReplyDeleteI love the patterns on the water, I love the "raft" of ducks but, what I love the most is that link to the dictionary. That was fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the ducks and their reflections as well as the "raft", and rippling water! Great, fun shots for the day, Jack!! Have a great Labor Day Weekend -- just don't LABOR!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool link, Jack! Like both your shots.

ReplyDeleteA raft of ducks: this is a very nice term to learn. I hope I will remember it. Great photo, by the way!
ReplyDeleteDucks are always fun, but in this case I prefer the 2nd photo.
ReplyDeleteThe link to Oxford can be useful for me ;-)
Love the movement of the water.
ReplyDeleteI learned something new and then I clicked the link and learned a lot more. Nice shots and nice post!
ReplyDeleteThey're always a pleasure to watch them out on the water. Good shot, Jack!
ReplyDeletePerfect timing, and isn't that just ducky?
ReplyDeleteSo are these friends of my swan?

Great pattern... The colors are really beautiful too : it is quite hard to get so neat pictures with so little light, specially with duckies moving like that... Great challenge.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo...very nice captured...
ReplyDeleteThese are such beautiful shots, Jack! The reflections are amazing.
