Two elegant white mute swans swim side-by-side on a choppy grey lake. One swan has its neck arched down toward the water, while the other looks straight ahead, highlighting its orange beak and black facial knob. In the background, a line of tan reeds grows out of the water, with a distant, misty shoreline of bare trees and a power line tower under a flat, overcast sky.
A pair of mallard ducks swimming on a rippling stream. In the upper part of the frame, a male drake is visible with his iconic iridescent green head, yellow beak, and white neck ring. Below him, a female hen swims in the same direction, showing off her mottled brown and tan camouflage feathers. The dark water around them is filled with soft ripples and reflections of overhead branches.
