I went kayaking Sunday with family and while moving through some lily pads a duck started making an obnoxious sound at me. When I reached for my camera I realized she was warning me to stay away from her floating nest on the other side of the kayak. I snapped a picture of a nest that floats on top of the water in heavy lily pads that had an egg and a new born duckling about 10 minutes old in it. I had already taken a picture of a Special Medal for this week's challenge but decided this was much more special and used it instead.
The picture was taken with my Canon PowerShot S3 IS with F3.5 and 1/1600 speed.
I was also able to get a quick video of the duckling.
Or go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wry-og9qGFM To see it in other sizes.
This link is to another video with the duck growling at me.

This is what another duck looked like sitting on its floating nest.
Wow that IS special! What a cool find :)
ReplyDeleteI still haven't found anything special yet, but I'm working on it and have a couple of ideas....how to present them in an interesting way is the thing that's taking a while LOL.
Cool!
