Guess I missed this image when I commented earlier.. but I just want to say how much I love this shot. It's part of a beautiful and unique series that reflects your love for nature so well, Yves.

Thanks Heather. I feel very lucky that I am ending my life in being up cllose and personal with the beautyful nature that surround me and more conscious I am a little part of it.

The three images really tell the story you saw. Very nicely captured with soft bokeh and great attention to detail which clearly draws the viewers eye to the subject.

Well done Yves, the reflections, textures and the story captured and explained in all three images is so beautiful. I would be framing all three of these images, they certainly do tell a story and have a heart warming mood.

Thank you so much for your heat warming comment Debra. I took about 15 shots of the family. select the 3 most meaningful for the story. First time I notice the dificulty the young ones have entering a pads field.

Description
A female green teal (not totaly sure) is riding the youngs. They normaly form a tight pack riding close behind the mother. The ride is easy and little ones are happy but life is about to put them to the test with a not so easy moment.
