When there's little time for photographs, I turn to the ducks at Constitution Gardens. They are nearby and are considered commonplace unless you really see them.
What an intricate and beautiful pattern of colors and shapes! Yes, one tends not to notice this beauty in ducks unless they are seen close up as here. Well done!
Instant fav. The markings are so detailed and the reflection is lovely. One of those natural beauties which, as you say, are considered commonplace unless you really look at them--then you see that they are gorgeous, no matter how many of them there are. BTW, what is the small thing below the head in the reflection?
