A duck for your thoughts. He's bent in a rather strange shape isn't he? They're such weird yet cute creatures.

Sure its not a penguin in a duck suit, this is the first time I have seen duck sit like this - it's amazing and a fabulous shot

I love the irridescent green/teal on this duck's head.

@Viewfinder: yeah, it was a beautiful duck. that sounds really very odd when i put it that way.
@Jen: haha, thanks. i laughed at your comment, despite being at work. which prompts the question, why am i on am3 while at work? i'm a terrible employee.

He's got a funny look on his face too, as he does his best contortionist act..... ha ha.

It has most fantastic feathers, as if brushed for the photo session!
