These two Wood Ducks were sunning on the end of an Alligator platform until I passed by.

Actually, there had been three; one had dropped into the water as I rounded the bend.

The other two seemed to be communicating…

… stay, or go?

The female made up her mind and jumped feet first into the pond.

The male made a showier exit…

and a delicate splash down.

My wife also jumps into the water first of us. Evolution never fails.
🙂 Good to be a trailblazer!
Such sweet captures Ellen! ❤️
Thanks, Sandra, they were fun to watch!
