The encounter

This child was out biking with their father, and they stopped to get acquainted with the ducks in the lake. I didn’t have the right lens for this kind of picture and had no time to grab my phone, but the encounter was adorable to watch, so here it is.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

seems a very focused moment for the youngster...the mallard to the bottom right is also carrying out an inspection of sorts..
