This is a pair of Wood Ducks on the freshwater pond at David Weld Sanctuary. The males are so extravagantly colored that sometimes I don’t even see the females with them. These shots should have been better, especially since I had to lay flat out on muddy ground to take them. But the photo gods do not reward effort alone. They seek focus. Focus of mind, focus of purpose, and focus in the freakin’ lens. What can I say? My dog ate my homework. JK
