Hypnotised Coot

More ripply and reflective in large.

This coot momentarily calmed itself using auto-hypnosis...
It was a pretty but absolutely frigid morning at Eagle Pond: the Goosles were paddling about when we arrived, but quickly turned and raced over when my mother called to them (Mr.: *Gasp* "God of Oats!").
I almost blipped another Goosle, but have chosen this peaceful coot for variety's sake.
