Mount Pond: Cayuga Variations

More crisp and colourful in large.

The Cayuga IS still on Mount Pond, so there is still a motivation for visiting Clapham Common; it was also paddling about rather than hiding (for a change), although it refused to get the right side of me for the sun to really bring out its iridescence.

BUT *sigh* choosing...
I thought that I'd finally managed a "one picture day", but then couldn't choose between three v. similar images (see extras, for my "1 vs. 2 vs. 3" dilemma: nicer reflection/ripples, brighter eye, or more crisp plumage...?), and then I rounded it up to 10 because they were similarly worth sharing (or not worth sharing at all). So, it could have been one, then was three, then it might as well be 10...?! 

SO the others are on Flickr here (or right from colourful cafe).
