Snuck up on a Duck

Today started off miserable again but we refused to stay in the house and went out to Meyer Park (About 5 miles away) for a stroll.  Many moons ago Meyer Park was a Native American Settlement.  Now it is a place for kids to play and has multiple football fields.  There are also a few small lakes and an abundance of birds.  We saw a few types of woodpecker, chickadees, egrets and many other birds.  There were also Nutria (Coypu).  Texann got a picture of one woman feeding the large rats.

As it happened our stroll coincided with the sun coming out and I got a number of shots ranging from landscapes to close ups.  In the end I chose to blip this duck.  The shot was taken before the sun came out and just as the clouds were breaking.  I just liked the perspective.  Oh,  and I took this with a 70mm lens.  He was one confident duck.  He tasted great this evening as well :-)

So here you have it.  Snuck up on a duck.
