Skating Ducks.

I took this photo on Friday, March 26th, at Bellevue Park in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario.
The weather had become warmer, so the ducks have been out and about for the past couple of weeks.  However, it got colder again last week, so the water froze over again.  This picture is of a few ducks walking (skating!) along the ice.

To me, this photo is a sort of parallel to the stereotypical image or movie scene, that shows a group of happy people (and of course the romantic couple) skating around on the ice in winter time (often a scene in Christmas movies and winter art).  Instead of people skating happily along the ice in winter, this shows the happy ducks (romantic couple in front) skating along the ice in spring.  Mostly for that reason, I love this picture.
