I should qualify the statements made in that last post.
The lake was calm and quiet.
Until this jumping bean showed up on the scene:
And, well, all hell then broke loose:
He's a duck man.
And loves the fact that the lake is shallow for quite a ways out beyond the shoreline
Because he can run a heck of a lot faster than he can swim
Fortunately, ducks can swim [and fly] faster than he can run
A quick break and then:
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more
Poor ducks.
This was a rough morning for them.
Thankfully no mallards were physically damaged today. They're probably emotionally scarred for life though.
