No anecdote this time. Just an image I happen to like. Why? A well-timed click I think and as a result a story. A story about a duck that is going places. Where? No clue? Why? You tell me. With whom? I saw paparazzi nearby, so we’ll probably read about it soon. When? That one I know … now! Did she or he have a plan? I am pretty sure! Someone with enough imagination (or drugs) could write a whole book about the adventures of this duck. 🙂
A duck on a pier at Lac Léman: Ready to set sail
A lake landscape captured at the shores of Lac Léman, featuring a duck on a pier that is just about to set sail.
I captured this lake landscape with a duck at the shores of Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) near Montreux, in the Swiss Canton of Vaud.

Thanks Roland! Your stories are very inspiring as well!
Thanks very much Donna and Neil !
Perfect capture!!!
Love the POV
Fun image and a great caption!
Thanks Jeff!
Thanks Athena and Brian. @Athena: You didn’t mis the duck. This was on another day.
So cute – you make me smile Johan.
I never even saw this duck – I was too busy ogling the castle. 😉
Very cool picture!
@Doug: I agree … plus that one foot …
@Richard: Tnx my friend. Do you see parallels between you and the duck?
@Amelia: … I seem to recall that there was this song in the 70’s “I want to fly like a … duck”
Love it!!!
I’ve never parachuted, but my best dreams are of soaring like an eagle. A duck will do as well. & That scenic view s/he’s flying into, I’d stay airborne for . . .
The low camera angle made this photo, otherwise, it’s just a photo of a duck. There’s a great story here, all that remains as you say, is someone to tell it. I’ll just enjoy the image as it is. 🙂
@JP Noyes: exactly. Otherwise I would probably have binned it …
@Sumit: I think Daffy just enjoyed a delicious Swiss cheese fondue!
@Peter de Rooij: you might be right. Daffy is aiming exactly at where the Mont Blanc is!
The one foot up means so much, gives the picture a feel of mystery.
The decisive moment!
I think it may have great plans – the first duck on Mt Blanc maybe?
That is one fat duck Johan. I don’t think he can stand for too long – floating is much less stressful for him:-)
Thanks Dennis, Moritz and Jill 🙂
Good morning Myrna and thanks!
I like this a lot!
Lovely. Nice moment you captured there. Love ducks!
I love it. One foot up and ready to go….somewhere. Great capture.
Beautiful Johan !
