This is probably the best way to shoot a duck. With a 300mm lens.
St. Mary Lake is often the scene of beautiful reflections. Too bad those nasty microcystins are hanging around right now.

It was nose to the grindstone in the intermediate classroom at Fernwood Elementary School. Meanwhile half the primary kids were absent with an illness (after a school-wide field trip).

Hard enough to imagine hurtling down a paved hill at 70 km/hr in the summer.
