Title: Duck Reflection
When I saw this duck, looking at his reflection (course, I'm not really sure he is doing that), I was reminded by of the story, The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Anderson. Basically, the story goes: Duck, born looking like it fell out of the storks basket a few hundred feet up, gets picked on by other ducks. He decides he's had enough, he learns Duck-Fu, and the next time the kids try and mess with him he was going to go all "medieval" on them. But, through his training he learns that he does not need to beat them up because they are all superficial, materialistic, self-centered egotist ducks. UD (as his friends call him now), learns to find inner-peace, gets a masters degree in both electrical engineering and architecture so he can build climate controlled DuckMansions(TM), so he and his friends don't have to fly South for the winter. Now, he and his other "ugly" friends laugh and mock those other "pretty" ducks that have to fly south, while they drink Barcardi and play shuffleboard.
And he lived happily ever after.
Hans was a bit of a messed up writer.
Your comments are always as interesting as your photos! Thanks for the chuckles! Watch out this weekend there may be Duck-Fu Medieval madness...
