Mallard Duck Reflected In Lake Elizabeth: Photo Of The Day

FREMONT, CA — Manish Pophale snapped this lovely photo of a mallard duck earlier this month during a sunset walk at Lake Elizabeth in Central Park. In an email, Pophale told Patch, "I could only imagine a scene of tranquility and contentment. The duck probably was enjoying the warmth of the sunset, maybe even closing its eyes in bliss. It was a picturesque moment of nature at peace, where the duck was simply taking in the simple pleasure of soaking up the sun's rays. Wonderful moment!"

Thank you for sharing it with Patch readers!
