Spring Green and Feather Sheen

Leaving a v-wake behind him, this mallard drake was enjoying the early morning sunshine, on the Lake of Bays -- not the blue lake we usually think about, but a spring lake, reflecting spring leaves.

These colours are the reason, when you walk into the paint store, there are about a thousand shades of green...

But I don't think any of them are named "mallard green."  Perhaps they should be!
