Friends, I certainly did not create this beautiful Mallard duck but I did create the image from the hundreds of images that I shot sitting above this waterhole.  This is one of my all time favorite images of my short nature photographer career.  The morning that i took this image, was one of the first nice spring mornings and i was on my way to my previous career. I just had to stop and I was late for work.  One has priorities in life, when I was sitting at my desk dreaming of birds flying, I knew it was time to retire from this work and move onto another life.  Maybe I was sent this image to convince me that another life awaits after my real job came to an end.  til Tomorrow MJ
