Jason Harris, Following the leader one step at a time (SINGLE SHOT 2025)

While it may not be as iconic as The Beatles crossing Abbey Road, this moment was personally just as significant. A female Australian Woodduck led her seven offspring on the footpath down my residential street. After taking in the scene for a moment from the lounge room window, I did what any aspiring nature photographer would do and grabbed my camera with the aim of capturing the moment without getting too close to the little ducklings who were only in their infancy. Just one of those heartwarming moments that nature can produce.
