On golden pond

It was a beautiful spring day today, and as often happened last year, I stopped off at the pond just outside the office to try to photograph the birds in the evening light. There was not much activity, but the Mallards were milling around by the reed bed, creating these golden reflections.

I stayed longer than I should, and coupled with an explosive decompression on my bike's front tyre two miles from home, I got back quite a bit later than normal.
