May Challenge - Calm

Day 30 of DDW's May daily challenge - Calm

A theme of calm and a nice windy day to go with it, so no chance of a calm lake at Chiswick Park.

"Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath." - Michael Caine

Michael Caine may have changed the more commonly used swan for this saying into a duck, well there were no swans on the lake either today, the ducks were all asleep on the grass, so the only birds left on the water were the coots and moorhens. Not the most graceful of movers, but at least here the gust of wind that had tunnelled between a couple of the buildings makes it look as though the water the coot is on is calm, even though it is heading for more troubled water stirred up by the wind.
