Head above water

On Saturday morning I dropped off my car at the mechanic and found myself meandering about Anchorage, moving generally in the direction of my house. The sky was blue, the air was crisp and it was an altogether lovely morning. I came upon a lake near my neighborhood and decided to sit on its banks for a little while. Inspired by the many ducks poking their head in and out of the water, I got out my camera. My lens happened to be pointed at this one when, instead of diving into the water, he decided to flap right out of it.
