duck, duck, goose

How cute are they?

The other night I took a little walk down to the swamp at the bottom of the hill I live on. As I walked up to the edge of the water I surprised a mama duck, I think she was a wood duck, though it was hard to tell. She promptly hopped into the water and took off, leaving her babies to scramble after her. They were so tiny and they huddled close together in a little ball of fuzz as they made their way out to their mama.

Mama, wait for us….

Ah, safe and sound, all together once more.

I was a little surprised that she didn’t stay to protect her babies, but glad that it all worked out in the end.

On the other side of the swamp there was a gaggle of geese, it looked like two sets of parents with their almost-grown children, all honking and clamoring around, just like noisy teenagers, not really listening to their parent’s instruction.

It was so good to be out walking, seeing babies, watching the sunset.

Enjoying life.

Wonderful photographs of them.

she waited until you were up & walking around? how perfect a gift.

So sweet!! And – how wonderful to hear that you’re out and about!!!

Kelly, you are making it very very hard for me to narrow down one of your gorgeous images to use for your sidebar button.

But, I’m sure I’ll settle on one of them. Eventually. 🙂
