Yesterday morning, the surface of Water Ranch Lake was smooth as glass, nary a ripple to be seen. It was still early and many of the ducks were floating calmly on the surface, some still sleeping. The people who feed the ducks from the boardwalk had not yet arrived so the ducks there had nothing to make waves about. This Ring-necked Duck floated calmly beneath me. He’d already been diving for breakfast as he’s covered with water droplets but the water surrounding him when I took this image had already returned to glass.
