When I was in Bristol last month standing near the Delaware River, I looked to the right and saw this interesting sculpture, and what I later found out was Burlington New Jersey across the river. If you look closely (left side of bottom picture) you can see the Riverboat that I posted last week and the tall spire of St. Mary's church that was in my sepia post last month.When I looked left I saw this duck zip down and fly just above the water. I really had to click fast to get the shot.
Immediately it reminded me of what KROQ disc jockey Dusty Streets used to say everytime her show ended in the early 1980's "Fly Low and Avoid the Radar"
This is my Watery Wednesday post.

If this were Florida, a gator would have that duck in nothing flat.

Hah ha love that low flying duck. Cool scuplture, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent shot. Boy you must have that camera ready at all times. Terrific.
ReplyDeleteMust be nice to be young and quick! I'd still be looking for the shutter button!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. Love the sculpture!
From flying gull to flying duck: well done! Could you find something more about this alien artifact posing as a sculpture? I really like it!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. You did good with the duck! That's a very interesting sculpture! Maybe Thursday we will take a drive to your neck of the woods, we need a day trip. Miss Cranky Pants (not me, Tara) is BORED.
ReplyDeleteMy blog is here.
ReplyDeleteHi James, very quick reflex, you got a perfect dive shot! A very interesting work of art!
What a great sculpture! It looks like a huge leaf. I like the duck's reflection on the water.
ReplyDeleteLove that first photo especially ;--)
ReplyDeleteMine's at Small Reflections this week.
Hugs and blessings,
Wow. Great catch! Of a picture. Not of a fish : )
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and clever title:) The first shot is really great:)
ReplyDeleteYou have photographs of New Jersey, and I haven't been visiting your blog? Shame on me. I'll be making up for that now. I haven't been to the Delaware River in a while, but it sure is a great place for photography. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteI loved both of these pictures.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Bristol UK.
Both shots wonderfully composed and both serene and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the duck reflection.
Great sculpture.

I enjoyed you humorous play on words, James. Wonderful shots for WW.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and for your visits :D
That's a great shot for Watery Wednesday! I wish I was that fast with my camera.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snaps. In the first snap it is the perfect timing to take a fantastic snap of the bird in flight sol close to water.
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic low landing for the dear duckie. Beautiful park by the waterside!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful shots. The statue is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of the duck, James! I love that colorful sculpture, whatever it's supposed to be.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the duck, James!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great captures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenes!
Wonderful photos, such an interesting sculpture and the one of the flying duck is great, love how you have captured its reflection in the water. You must have fast reflexes. It would have been out of sight before I had a chance to react. Thank you for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteThe duck really is flying low. ;-) Until I read your words I thought the sculpture was a HUGE plant.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure to like the sculpture, but I'm sure to love your picture with the duck! I can imagine it, flying in a total silence, just on the top of the water, maybe even caressing the river sometimes.. What a feeling!
ReplyDeleteI love the duck shot!
