Strike a pose

Thank you for your wonderful comments! I was walking in the city one evening and happened upon this one and her mate bathing in a water display. They seemed to enjoy having their picture taken! Other ducks would come and go, but these two stayed and posed...and posed some more. It was a lovely evening!

Sprinklings and twinklings of love, art and life through my lens. Greetings! Please enjoy your visit and I thank you for viewing my images. Until we meet again...peace & good wishes!
