I went to Circle B Bar Reserve this morning and struck out. So, on the way home I stopped by Lake Mirror in the center of Lakeland, Florida. I was pleasantly surprised to find this hen Wood Duck and her ducklings. Very encouraging to see them all healthy looking hopefully ensuring future populations. The reflections and colors on the water are from surrounding buildings. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Hi Joe, a lovely family image with the kids in tow. Ist prize for having mom swimming parallel to you, as the kids will never all be in line. Im fine with the reflected buildings in the water, but wish it was uniform across the water.
