Photo Challenge Day # 13

Day # 13

As I was walking along the Cottonwood Island trail, I had noticed ducks swimming in the river. They were chasing each other, swimming amongst the floating ice. 

The ducks were swimming in pairs. Groups sunning themselves on the muddy bank. The ducks don't seem to notice the runners, and walkers on the path, or the train and cars on the bridges. Self absorbed in their own world. 

I walk slowly along the muddy bank of the river. Creeping slowly, closer to the ducks. They don't seem to notice me. The ice in the water, hitting each other. It sounds like sheets of glass breaking in  the river. 

I notice there is one duck on guard, keeping an eye out for me.
He quacks a warning, to me or to his friends.
I imagine the duck saying something like this.
"Hey everyone! Jewels is here! Show her your good side. She wants to take a photo!"                                                                      

So, I call todays  collection of photographs…..
