Quacky Portraits

2008.04.13






Of course, they're fighting over a girl. ;)

Boys will be boys!

I love ducks. I can't help it, they're so quacky. :) I could watch them all day.

I was so excited when I got to the duck pond yesterday because I saw a couple of the ducks in nests. And when they went out for a stroll down to the water, I saw there were eggs in them!

But then the next time I went by the nest, the eggs were gone! :( And I don't know what happened because I never saw a person or animal near them. I sat down on a ledge and had a mope.

And the ducks kept swimming and waddling and fighting and getting frisky.

Because life goes on...

Madoc I love watching the ducks live their quiet life too.
As soon as there will be nice weather, I will go to the Parc Lafontaine, here in central Montreal where there is lots of ducks and I will sit snappin'
Very beautiful captures. You caught nice little moments, especially in #2, 7 & 8.
Truly great set.

MHJphotos Wonderful Lisa! I love the way #7 turned out. Heidi and I went to a local park yesterday to shoot some more ducks and ducklings. Great minds! =)

Bummer about the eggs. There were nesting geese at our local pond, so I hope to capture some of their young soon!

Lynda Maybe they hatched and the ducklings are hidden safely away somewhere? Great shots. I particularly like runner ducks as in 4,5 and 6.

Jannie I'm officially in love with ducks now, thanks to you!! I love #2 especially. Let's just not think about the missing eggs. Better missing eggs than missing ducklings!
