Poolside Mallards
I recently saw some mallards. Slowly and successfully over the course of 15-20 minutes, I managed to move down the long side of the pool, ending up about 4-5 ft. from the mallards before they took wing.
It is amazing to me how, on a random afternoon during the short trek between car and door, you can encounter something beautiful and unexpected.
