A Swim at Sunset!!

My first sighting of this Female Mallard,

out for an evening swim on the 29th of July.

Then for only a few short seconds, the setting sun reflected on the river,
the water lit up and it looked like this.
It was just beautiful!!

    We have a few ducks in our yard. I love having them follow me around, waiting for me to put out corn for them!

    That is some beautiful color reflected in the water! You're right, sometimes it only lasts a very short time.

    So pretty! I've never seen anything like it before. It almost looks like you photoshopped an effect in it. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
