The water is a soft, reflective surface, rippling gently with the movement of a mother duck and her young. The mother, with her mottled brown feathers and a subtle blue patch near her wing, glides steadily, her head slightly lowered. Behind her, three ducklings, small and yellow-brown with dark eyes, follow closely, their bodies bobbing with the current. The light catches the water’s surface, creating a shimmering, almost glassy texture. The scene is quiet, unhurried, the only motion the gentle sway of feathers and the subtle ripple of the water. The atmosphere is peaceful, a moment of simple, natural rhythm. The colors are muted yet vivid—browns, yellows, and the pale blue of the water’s reflection. No urgency, no drama—just the quiet presence of life moving through stillness.
