Wildlife


Connecting with our furry, fluffy, and funny little friends out in their own habitat has to be one of the most rewarding opportunities for me as a photographer. To capture that image of them locking eyes with me, or even watching them play around in their own environment ~ these are moments that bring my soul joy.

An American Pekin and a green-headed mallard sit side by side beside dark, rippling water. The quiet pairing offers a lovely chance to linger over two different ducks sharing a calm moment. The photographer identifies the setting as Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch in Gilbert, Arizona, and recalls pausing during a long walk to watch the wildlife. Here, the mallard's glossy green head turns away while the white duck faces its companion, its orange bill bright against softly rounded plumage. Dry reeds cross the foreground, making the pair feel tucked beside the water. The photographer remembers the mallard resting as its neighbor watched nearby, a gentle exchange that gives the scene its unhurried charm. You can enjoy the contrast between the mallard's dark feathers and the Pekin's clean white shape, then relax with the soothing blue water.
