Description
This view, looking into the pond through the reeds that framed the waterbird, stopped me in my tracks.
A magical view of natlure's pure beauty.
The stillness of the morning as a Hooded Merganser glides quietly on the marshpond, clearly visible for only a moment.
with the color palette accenting the serene mood of this experience.
Capturd with my first little digital camera in 2010 and now enhanced with Topaz AI.
Hoorah for the continuous improvements in camera technology to improve the low resolution of this and other 'firsts' in my old files.

Wonderful scene and capture, love these amazing ducks, a hooded merganser, I believe. Have only seen one in my life other than in pictures, lucky you! LF
I'ina Van Lawick replied:
Thank you, Angela. They are indeed lovely. We get quite a few here at the wildlife refuge. We have nestboxes for them in the trees, since they love to nest in hollows like that.

Thank you so much, Nancy, for sharing your impression of this image. For me, as one of my first images through the lense of a digital camera it is a favorite also. It was so exciting, after not having a camera for quite a few years..
