Duck by seanoneill

Duck

Today was such a grey day after a wonderful sunrise while I was taking the kids to school.

So, I popped down to Charnwood Water before I collected the kids from school. Now this isn't somewhere I know intimately, the last time I was there men were men and ships were made of wood. OK, I exaggerate, but George Michael was still in Wham!!

It was bitterly cold, but this chap came to see me in search of food and allowed me to shoot him with water in the background.

Thank you all so much for the response to my Goldfinch shot yesterday, I was chuffed to see it on the PP this morning.

I'm off to see Django unchained tonght with my mate Vince and I'm late, so will do my other albums later. I caught up with about half of your projects today, will catch up with the other half tomorrow.

Boo
this is a lovely warm shot despite the cold of the day

@kjarn it was fantastic Kathy. Falls apart a little towards the end when QT makes his appearance, before its dragged back to a great ending. Definitely worth seeing.
