I am so impressed by the drake's diligence. Great composition with the water swirling about the subjects and the subtle shades in the water.

Oh dear, I've heard of this but never really seen it. How cute!
Our ducklings here paddle hard behind their parents but never get a lift...

A tender family moment. I wonder what kind of duck they are, they look similar to mergansers
