While we were photographing at one of the ponds yesterday a young mother with a small boy were walking through the gardens. the boy had a bag of food for the ducks and was tossing it out as he went. There must have been a good thirty foot parade behind him on this bridge.

In retrospect, I should have stopped down a bit to get the ducks sharper.

The eyes have it! Great eye to see this and to capture the eyes of the different water fowl, especially the peeking eye(s) of two of the drake wood ducks.

I agree with Jim about the eyes, but for me it is even more about the feet :grin:

You get my points for originality. I really enjoy the color contrast between the orange, the green, and the wood. Nicely seen.
