Description


I like this English idiom, and I chose it as the title of this image. Figuratively, a sitting duck is someone or something vulnerable to attack, physical or verbal. An easy target or victim. It alludes to a duck floating on the water, not suspecting that it is the object of a hunter or predator. It's also an award, a tongue-in-cheek honor that pokes fun at the most ridiculed newsmakers in the United States. Alaska governor Sarah Palin beat out Democrat Rod Blagojevich, the ousted former governor of Illinois who was allegedly caught trying to sell President Barack Obama's Senate seat. Sitting Ducks is also a children's animated television series based on an iconic lithograph and the 1998 children's book, Sitting Ducks, created by Michael Bedard. Sitting Ducks first appeared in 2001 in Europe, later debuting in North America on the Cartoon Network, Australia on ABC and in Japan. It proved to be a big hit with the European children's show market, and as a result toys, clothing and other merchandise were created. Thank you for your kind comments. NOTICE: Due to a server crash last weekend I (and Flavia) lost two day's mail, RR e-bot messages included. I'll try to catch up.

Nice shot. It wouldn't be bad to focus a bit more on your ducks. They are relatively small now whilst the trees are quit large.
