Last night as I was about to walk out of the office, I saw this funny sight. I grabbed my camera and got off a single shot.
Ms. Mallard is standing on the sidewalk watching her reflection in the plate glass window of the adjacent office. Mr. Mallard has had enough and ready to leave.
I shot through the glass on our office door that matches the one across the entryway. The window looks mirrored, but isn't. The room on the other side is dark.
Without the 80-400mm VR telephoto, this is a tight crop with little resolution (~1.5Mp) left after cropping. The mallards fled as I moved to get a closer shot.
Nature happens even in the Beaverton suburb and sometimes it's Saturday Evening Post (Norman Rockwell) cute.
