Description

Many many thanks to all who identified the various species of ducks whose pictures I have posted in the last few days. Amazingly, I can identify these two all by myself: the gentleman on the left is a Mandarin Duck, the lady on the right is a Mallard (I hope). I dedicate this picture to my wife because it does not represent our marriage. This is the last in this series.

A beautiful photograph. I am a bit humorus today and I can feel there are things said between these two based upon their expressions. 'What are you looking at ?' the Peking duck says, and she replies 'I thought we were going out casual and not to a carnival!'. Have a great day. Please excause my humor today.

A really wonderful shot Charles. East meets West I think. I love the way the mandarin has turned its head. Superb!!!
