Young couple enjoying a bit of warmth, out of the wind.  What was that kind of iridescent coloration  called?

Those duck features are really very nice up close!

  1. I’m glad you enjoy them, Ray. Something like a dose of salts, eh?
    I enjoy getting them up. But I don’t know how long I can keep up this pace.
    Thanks,
