"A duck too far" Photo by Richard Schear |
While visiting Arnhem during our rivers and canals cruise aboard Viking Pride,
Dick took this photo of a duck making an on-the-water takeoff.
This is one of my favorite watery photos ever — even better when enlarged.

Beautiful! It looks like he is running on the water, and very
fast to :)
Such a fantastic capture! Drama on water!
nice shot! where is he going? :)
Zeepeeedee! What a nice take off!
Oh, I love this. A duck making a getaway. Too cute.
It takes a lot of energy to get liftoff, imagine how fast those little feet are moving. That is a fun shot.
Good gracious! Is that duck walking on water?
Looks like he's enjoying the water :).
Great capture! And a quick one too!

Hope you are having a nice and happy week****
what a great capture. and thanks for the belly laugh this morning - 3rd try did it and it was worth it!!!
Amsterdam is on my list of must visit .. the airport through which I made a connection to Venice wasnt enough!
Are you sure he wasn't surfing ??
That looks like a racing duck!
I think skimming the water before lift off would be great fun … if I were like this lucky duck that can fly. :)
Looks like he doesn't want to be photographed! Camera shy maybe? Love the ripples on the water.
Great photo Richard! I never seem to have my camera at the ready when I see something like that happening. And when I do, it turns out blurry!
Dick had to be fast to get that one, didn't he, Kay...LOL? Love how much wash the little guy leaves behind. The picture definitely looks awesome when blown up...:)

Ha, ha... they crack me up when you see them put on the brakes and come skidding across the water. Well captured!
this is a sight I like. :)
Thats a funny shot enlarged. It looks like he's revving up his engines.
It's beautiful. Love the water.

What a great shot!!!
That's a lovely shot. I'm irritated with blogger. It went down and I lost several posts. I think everyone did. Oh well. Hope you have a great weekend.
Entertainment, avian style.
