This escapee is hanging out with the Wood Ducks. The fall leaves caused the colorful reflections on the water.

Great colour, and the autumn (fall) colours in the reflection just add to its beauty.

Great shots, almost an overload of color (if that's possible).

Two great shot with beautiful vivid colours. The only duck missng is the Harlequin duck. Then you would have shots of the three most photogenic ducks in the World. ;-)a


Best regards

Thanks Sindri. I consider myself lucky just to have seen Harlequin Ducks. No chance for photos of them yet.
