Not a duck- grebe

Friends, this small bird is not a duck, but a  pied-billed grebe. I love this image not for the bird, but the lovely patterns on the water.  Reflections of a partly cloudy sky or partly sunny, how do they differentiate between partly cloudy and partly sunny, guess it depends on whether the weather person is a pessimist or optimist 🙂 I myself prefer partly sunny , til Tomorrow MJ

Weekly Photo Challenge:Down

Friends, thinking about both applications for the word, down.  Down as immature feathers poking from the backside on this Pied-billed Grebe or down as the direction out of my car window.I guess both definitions apply in this image.  This is a fall image as the lily pads are in a state of decay and the fall colors are reflected in the water behind this tiny bird.  They dive for their food and hence are almost always wet.  til Tomorrow MJ
