A Tranquil Day in Spring

Sprting is the time of year when I feel relief that winter is over and almost any beautiful outdoor scene brings a sense of tranquility to me.  
Today, while looking around my favourite pond I spied a duck on the calm waters.  However when I got my camera in position to take a picture, the duck disappeared by diving under the water.  I waited patiently until the duck surfaced again and then I took its picture.  
The duck was a female Common Goldeneye and I found the scene tranquil and beautiful
