There was a flurry of activity by the pond (or lake) between the Toftrees golfcourse and the game land. Looking between snow-covered reeds, I saw several ducks swimming in a narrow lane of the first ice-free water of the past few months.
As soon as they became aware of me, they took off. In the course of those seconds, I got some favorite photos, such as the following one. A valuable aspect of a long telephoto lens is that the narrow depth of field allows intervening objects to be rendered almost transparent. In this instance, I feel that the "foreground" reeds add a pleasant touch of mystery, particularly for the female on the right.
