Wood ducks are among the most challenging wildlife to photograph at the Garden. Getting a close-up is quite difficult as they will fly off in an instant if I get too close. But the effort is worth it. I love shooting the drakes, who—as my new friend in the photo demonstrates—are very colorful.

There’s some fantasy to be found in the shade of the dogwoods. They’re what’s popping among the Garden’s flowering trees this week—and they’re hard to miss.
