ha ha ha
is that what it is really called Sandy , duckweed ?

he looks as though trapped in it
:eek:

j/k

it's a beautiful marshy looking scene of the water's feast and the duck gliding around.
must be heaven to him
the reflections of the tree trunks in a blue sky really add to it all

Thanks Marie, This was taken in the same area that I took the one of "lovers on the Lane" in the people thread.

yes it is called 'duckweed' although whats in the photo may or may not be it, or if ducks even eat it. A little poetic license for the sake of art. :lol: :lol:

everything you wanted to know about duckweed but were afraid to ask

by the way I wasn't being 'smart ' about the duckweed
I just said it off hand

it's a good name for it
especially with the duck attached (almost):lol:

You're welcome Marie. I did find out today that ducks do eat on occasion some duckweed.
