The Quiet Art of Watching Ducks

A video collage of ducks swimming, eating, playing, and socializing. There's no talking, no action, no story, and definitely no stress or drama. This video is just ducks doing what ducks do.

This video is for anyone who loves ducks or enjoys peaceful surroundings and natural settings. You can leave it on while you study or read. You can use it as atmosphere or background. Or you can practice the Quiet Art of Watching and see the video from beginning to end.

Take Time to Relax

In our high speed lives, it can be difficult to take quiet time, unfilled with activity. Few of us have the patience to sit still, even for just a few minutes. The Quiet Art of Watching Ducks is a peaceful balance between absolute quiet and the frantic pace that we've all become accustomed to. Just watch.

An Independent Production

Produced by Michael Haney and filmed on digital video in beautiful Spanaway Park in Pierce County, Washington. The soundtrack is a rhythmic arrangement backed by the natural sounds of water, ducks, and other birds in the neighborhood.
