Maelstrom
Vortex, tumult, maelstrom, chaos
a feathered creature enters the fray
Patterns keep changing and re-arranging
shape-shifting the murky medium's array
A Mallard hen is caught swimming in the kinetic flow of a woodland creek. The incidence of light on the liquid surface traced the asymmetrical flow of water as the duck moved upstream.
