Toddler Feeding Ducks at Blue Hour Pond

Indigo ambient light washes over a shallow pond near Glasgow as peak autumn colors frame the water's edge. A small toddler stands on a damp stone path, leaning forward to scatter bread crumbs toward a cluster of ducks. The sky above holds dramatic, heavy clouds that reflect in the dark, glassy surface of the water. Golden and russet leaves from nearby trees litter the ground, against the cool blue tones of the twilight. The child's jacket is a muted earth tone, blending with the seasonal foliage. One duck breaks the stillness, its beak submerged in the water near the child's small hand. The stone path edge is wet and glistening under the fading light.
